About the FAURBY 999
Designed as IOR 3/4 ton.
The Faurby 999 is a 32.78 ft fractional sloop designed by Faurby and built by Faurby Yachts A/S in 1976. With a displacement of 10141.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 24.14, this vessel represents a specific era of Danish yacht construction, though the total number of hulls built remains unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, moderate-performance cruiser with a fractional rig, rather than high-performance racers or extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.94 and a displacement of 10141.0 lb, the Faurby 999 offers moderate offshore stability suitable for coastal and nearshore cruising, though its single-year production run limits long-term parts availability for serious bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1970s European fractional sloops with similar displacement and beam, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 32 or Beneteau First 32, due to their shared emphasis on cruising comfort over pure speed.
