About the COMPROMIS 909
The Compromis 909 is a 31.0 ft masthead sloop designed by Frans Maas and built by Jachtwerf Zaadnoordijk BV (NED) in 1985. With a displacement of 9900.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 22.36, this vessel represents a specific era of Dutch construction, though the exact number of hulls built remains unconfirmed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 31.0 ft footprint with a moderate 4.08 ft draft, making it accessible for shallow-water harbors.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.08 and a D/L ratio of 251.46, the boat offers moderate offshore stability, but its single-year production run and specific structural concerns suggest it is better suited for protected waters than heavy bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early-to-mid 1980s European 30-footers with similar displacement and fin keels, such as the Beneteau First 30 or Oyster 30, due to shared dimensions and era-specific construction methods.
