About the JONGERT 20S
The Jongert 20S is a substantial ketch designed by Peter Sijm / De Vries Lentsch and built by Jongert (NED) in 1986. With a displacement of 116000.0 lb and a build count of ?, this vessel represents a specific era of Dutch heavy-displacement cruising yacht construction.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, heavy-displacement platform for protected waters, given its significant weight and ketch rig configuration.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 410.09 and a capsize ratio of 1.45, the Jongert 20S exhibits strong offshore stability characteristics, though its 9.83 ft max draft limits access to shallow anchorages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other late-1980s European heavy-displacement ketches such as the Hallberg-Rassy 38 or Beneteau First 36.7, though the Jongert's 116000.0 lb displacement places it in a heavier, more motion-comfortable category than typical production cruisers of that era.
