About the DOMINANT 95
The Dominant 95 is a compact fractional sloop designed by G&G Edwardsson and built by Dominant Boatyard (SWE) between 1977 and 1985, with a total production of 50 hulls. Its lightweight displacement of 6393.0 lb and fin keel configuration reflect a design philosophy focused on performance and agility rather than heavy offshore comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize sailing performance and ease of handling over heavy bluewater provisioning. Its fractional rig and moderate beam of 9.19 ft make it manageable for short-handed crews seeking a responsive sailing experience.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 6393.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.98, the Dominant 95 is primarily a coastal cruiser with limited bluewater capability due to its light weight and fin keel design.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the O'Day 30 and Pearson 303, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and coastal cruising roles. These vessels offer similar footprints and performance characteristics, though the Dominant 95 distinguishes itself with its specific Swedish design lineage and lighter displacement.
