About the DJANGO 8S
Designed by Pierre Rolland and built by Marée Haute (FRA), the Django 8S is a modern 26.28 ft fractional sloop with a production start in 2019. With a displacement of 4409.0 lb and a D/L ratio of 122.12, it balances performance with manageable weight for its size.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize speed and agility, given its high SA/D ratio of 32.12 and low comfort ratio of 12.73.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.4 and a max draft of 6.56 ft, the Django 8S is primarily designed for coastal and bay cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other modern 26-foot performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 26 or J/26, the Django 8S shares a similar fractional rig and fin keel layout aimed at club racing and weekend cruising.
