About the MAREA 39
A number of different rig and keel options were available.
The Marea 39 is a rare, heavy-displacement cruiser designed by Vallicelli and built in 1984, with only 50 hulls produced. Its substantial displacement of 21164.0 lb and comfort ratio of 31.07 indicate a design focused on stability and seakeeping rather than speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced cruisers seeking a robust, motion-comfortable vessel for coastal and offshore passages who prioritize safety and stability over high-performance sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.85 and a displacement of 21164.0 lb, the Marea 39 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering excellent stability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other heavy-displacement European cruisers from the 1980s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 38 or Nautor's Swan 42, due to their similar emphasis on build quality, heavy ballast ratios, and offshore capability.
