About the MISTRAL T-21
Original location of this builder: Mistal Inc. Sailboats 2187 de la Province Longueuil, Quebec, Canada Photo courtesy Adam Hunt.
The Mistral T-21 is a compact fractional sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Mistral Sailboats Inc. (CAN) in 1978. With a hull count that remains unverified in available records, this 21.0 ft LOA vessel represents a specific era of Canadian small-craft production.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day sailing and light cruising due to its modest 2700.0 lb displacement and 18.67 ft LWL, making it manageable for single-handers or couples seeking a low-maintenance trailerable sailboat.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.35 and a displacement of 2700.0 lb, the T-21 is not recommended for extended offshore passages, as its light displacement and 13.15 comfort ratio indicate a design optimized for coastal performance rather than heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and Catalina 22, as they share similar length overall dimensions and fractional sloop rigs from the late 1970s, though the T-21's specific Canadian build context offers a distinct ownership experience.
