About the JOUËT 1040
The Jouët 1040 is a 34.08 ft masthead sloop designed by Yves Marechal and built by Yachting France in 1981. With a displacement of 9600.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 18.54, this vessel represents a specific era of French coastal cruising design, though the exact total hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 34-foot footprint with moderate performance, rather than heavy bluewater expeditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.2 and a relatively light displacement of 9600.0 lb, the Jouët 1040 is better suited for protected coastal waters than for heavy offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early 1980s European 34-footers like the Beneteau First 34 or O'Day 34, the Jouët 1040 shares similar dimensions and a focus on accessible sailing for small crews.
