About the JOUËT 760
The same or similar to JOUËT 750. A keel/cb version was also available. Photo courtesy Adam Hunt.
Designed by Philippe Briand and built by Yachting France (FRA) from 1982–1986, the Jouët 760 is a compact 24.93 ft masthead sloop with 150 hulls produced. Its lightweight 4850.0 lb displacement and 15.51 SA/D ratio indicate a design focused on performance and agility rather than heavy cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and club racers who prioritize speed and easy handling over heavy offshore provisioning. Its manageable size and performance-oriented ratios make it ideal for single-handers or couples seeking a responsive day-sailer with overnight capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low 2.18 capsize ratio and 4850.0 lb displacement, the Jouët 760 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its light displacement and short 21.33 ft LWL limit its seakeeping ability in heavy offshore conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and Pearson 23, which share similar dimensions and target the same market of affordable, performance-oriented coastal cruisers. These vessels offer similar masthead sloop configurations and fin keels, providing a direct alternative for buyers seeking a 24-25 ft trailerable yacht.
