The Django 9.8 is a 32.81 ft fractional sloop designed by Pierre Rolland and built by Marée Haute (FRA) starting in 2015. With a displacement of 9259.0 lb and a beam of 11.81 ft, this vessel represents a modern, performance-oriented cruising platform with a comfort ratio of 16.51.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize speed and modern ergonomics over heavy offshore displacement. Its fractional rig and relatively light displacement make it well-suited for active weekend cruising and short-to-medium range passages.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 2.25 and a displacement of 9259.0 lb, the Django 9.8 is primarily designed for coastal and inshore cruising rather than heavy bluewater voyaging. Its relatively low displacement and high sail area/displacement ratio of 26.65 suggest it is best kept within sight of land or well-established coastal routes.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 33.7 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349, as they share similar production eras, fractional rigs, and a focus on interior volume and sailing performance. The Django distinguishes itself with its specific twin/triple keel options and French design lineage.
