About the FINNGULF 39
Rig dimensions from original sail plan. Also known as the Finngulf 391. Shallow keel draft: 1.75 m / 5.75 ft.
Designed by Håkan Södergren and built by Finngulf Marine (FIN), the Finngulf 39 is a robust fractional sloop with a production run spanning 1982–2005. With only 109 hulls built, this vessel represents a rare and specialized entry in the market, characterized by its substantial displacement and heavy ballast ratio.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and offshore adventurers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over high-speed planing, given its high comfort ratio of 25.69 and heavy displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 14330.0 lb and a low capsize ratio of 1.92, the Finngulf 39 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering exceptional stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 38 and the Nautor's Swan 42, as they share similar heavy-displacement, full-keel or fin-keel characteristics designed for safe offshore passage making.
