About the FLEUR DE MER

The Fleur de Mer is a robust 31.5 ft cruising sloop designed by Group Finot and built by Chantier Malliard (FR) between 1972 and 1975, with a total production of 100 hulls. Its design emphasizes stability and comfort, evidenced by a high displacement of 11464.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 29.86.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize a stable, comfortable motion over high-speed performance, making it a strong candidate for couples or families seeking a reliable bluewater platform.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 11464.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.92, and a fin keel, the Fleur de Mer is well-regarded for its offshore suitability and ability to handle heavy weather with confidence.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 32 and the Oyster 32, as they share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and offshore-oriented hull forms from the same era.
