About the FLOT 32
The Flot 32 is a French-built cruising sloop designed by S. Langevin and constructed by Chantier Métalu (FRA) in 1977. With a build count of ?, this vessel represents a specific era of European boatbuilding, characterized by a masthead sloop rig and a displacement of 8000.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform with a Comfort ratio of 18.05, rather than high-performance racing enthusiasts.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 2.2 and a D/L ratio of 186.79, the Flot 32 offers moderate offshore stability suitable for protected coastal passages but lacks the heavy displacement typically preferred for extreme bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the late 1970s with similar displacement and beam include the Beneteau First 32 and the O'Day 32, as they share similar dimensions and cruising-oriented hull forms.
