About the MALBEC 360
Shallow draft keel available. Draft: 1.65 m / 5.4 ft.
The Malbec 360 is a fractional sloop designed by Pablo Mastracchio and built by Oceantech in Argentina, with production records indicating a single build year of 2004. As a relatively rare vessel with an unknown total hull count, it represents a specific era of Argentine boatbuilding characterized by its 36.02 ft LOA and 12125.42 lb displacement.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and light offshore sailors who prioritize a comfortable motion, evidenced by its 23.07 comfort ratio, and appreciate a modern fractional rig layout. Its 11.02 ft beam and 164.42 D/L ratio suggest a balance between interior volume and manageable handling for couples or small families.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.92 and a fin keel configuration, the Malbec 360 is suitable for protected coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy bluewater passage-making. Its 12125.42 lb displacement provides adequate stability for moderate offshore conditions, but its limited production history suggests less proven long-term offshore durability than mass-produced designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other early-2000s fractional sloop cruisers of similar length, such as the Beneteau First 36 or O'Day 36, which share similar beam and displacement characteristics. The Malbec 360 distinguishes itself with its specific Argentine construction and slightly lighter displacement compared to heavier European contemporaries.
