The More 55 is a modern coastal cruiser designed by Maurizio Cossutti and built by More Boats, with production records indicating a start year of 2015. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in available data, the vessel is characterized by its fractional sloop rig and fin keel configuration, aiming to balance performance with comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a modern, performance-oriented day sailor or short-range cruiser who prioritize sailing dynamics over heavy bluewater expedition capabilities. It is well-suited for owners who value a responsive helm and contemporary design aesthetics within a manageable 55-foot footprint.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 33730.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.03, the More 55 is primarily designed for coastal and inshore cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making. Its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is best suited for protected waters and shorter passages where quick passage times and handling ease are prioritized over heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau First 54.7 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54.2, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, fin keels, and a focus on performance cruising within the mid-50s foot length category. These boats offer similar displacement-to-length ratios and sail area characteristics, appealing to sailors who want speed without sacrificing too much interior volume.
