About the ESPACE 800 (JEANNEAU)
The Espace 800 is a compact coastal cruiser designed by P. Briand and built by Jeaneau (FRA) between 1981 and 1984. With a displacement of 7716.0 lb and a fractional sloop rig, this 26.25 ft LOA vessel represents a specific era of French production where build counts remain unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing, appealing to owners who prioritize a manageable 26.25 ft LOA with a comfortable 25.52 comfort ratio for short offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.0 and a displacement of 7716.0 lb, the boat is primarily designed for coastal use rather than serious bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other early 1980s 26-foot fractional sloops such as the Beneteau First 26 or O'Day 26, which share similar fractional rig configurations and coastal cruising roles.
