About the ELITE 364
The Elite 364 is a French-built cruising sloop designed by P. Harle / A. Mortain and constructed by Kirie (FRA) in 1988. With a production run limited to a single year and an unknown total build count, this vessel represents a specific snapshot of late-80s European boatbuilding.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 36-foot package with a moderate comfort ratio of 19.97. Its dimensions and rigging are well-suited for couples or small families seeking a straightforward masthead sloop layout.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 10690.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.14, the Elite 364 is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1980s European 36-footers such as the Beneteau First 36 or Oyster 36, which share similar beam and displacement characteristics. These vessels offer similar coastal cruising capabilities with comparable sail area-to-displacement ratios.
