About the MAHE 36
The Mahe 36 is a fractional sloop designed by O. Flahault Design /Joubert - Nivelt and built by Fountaine Pajot (FRA) in 2004. With a displacement of 11023.0 lb and a LOA of 36.19 ft, this vessel represents a specific single-year production run that balances moderate comfort with performance-oriented ratios.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a manageable fractional sloop for weekend trips, given its moderate D/L ratio of 114.78 and widespread adoption of solar panels and biminis for self-sufficiency.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.49 and a comfort ratio of 9.29, the Mahe 36 is generally considered suitable for protected coastal waters rather than heavy offshore passage making, despite its robust hull construction.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other early-2000s European fractional sloops of similar displacement, as the Mahe 36 shares its 11023.0 lb weight class and 3.62 ft max draft with many coastal cruisers from that era.
