About the HALLMARK 480
The Hallmark 480 is a rare, large-displacement cruising sloop designed by Chuck Paine and built by Pantawee Marine Co., Ltd. between 2010 and 2015. With only 6 hulls built, this model represents a limited-production vessel that combines substantial size with a focus on offshore comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced bluewater cruisers who prioritize heavy displacement and motion comfort over high-speed performance. Its substantial build and design ethos appeal to those seeking a robust, long-range passagemaker rather than a coastal racer.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 36817.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.75, the Hallmark 480 exhibits strong offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics typical of Chuck Paine's heavy-displacement designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other Chuck Paine designs such as the Hallmark 360 or 420, which share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and cruising-oriented layouts. It also compares to other large, fin-keel cruising sloops from the same era that prioritize stability and range over speed.
