About the JOUËT 950
A keel-centerboard version was also available. (Possibly from the same tooling as the JOUËT 32 (1977) also by Marechal.)
The Jouët 950 is a 31.17 ft masthead sloop designed by Yves Marechal and built by Yachting France (FRA) in 1983. With a displacement of 7938.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 18.26, this vessel represents a specific era of French production with a single known build year.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 31-foot package with moderate performance characteristics. Its dimensions and rig type make it accessible for couples or small families seeking a straightforward sailing experience.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.21 and a D/L ratio of 201.62, the Jouët 950 exhibits moderate stability and displacement characteristics suitable for protected coastal waters rather than heavy offshore passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include other 30-32 foot French or European production sloops with similar displacement and beam ratios. These vessels share the Jouët 950's focus on practical cruising over extreme racing performance.
