About the EXCEL 319
Nearly the same as EXCEL 32.
The Excel 319 is a fractional sloop designed by Jan Becker and built by Excel Yachts (SWE) in 1990. With a displacement of 7937.0 lb and a beam of 10.92 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of Scandinavian yacht construction, though the total number of hulls built remains unconfirmed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable motion, indicated by a comfort ratio of 18.16, over high-performance racing metrics.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.19 and a displacement of 7937.0 lb, the Excel 319 exhibits a stable hull form suitable for protected coastal passages, though its offshore pedigree is less defined than dedicated bluewater designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include the Beneteau First 323 and the Oyster 32, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and displacement ranges, offering alternative choices for those seeking a 32-foot cruising platform.
