About the ESPACE 1000 (JEANNEAU)
A fin keel version was also available. Draft: 1.65m disp. 5890 kg
Designed by P. Briand and built by Jeanneau (FRA) from 1980–1987, the Espace 1000 is a robust 34.94 ft masthead sloop with a production run of 228 hulls. Its heavy displacement of 12787.0 lb and full keel design reflect a focus on stability and comfort over pure speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform for relaxed sailing, particularly given its high comfort ratio of 23.6 and spacious interior layout typical of the era.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.05 and a displacement of 12787.0 lb, the boat is structurally sound for offshore passages, though its variable keel options and age require careful verification of structural integrity.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34 and Beneteau First 343, which share similar beam dimensions and masthead sloop rigs, though the Espace 1000 distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement and full keel.
