Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 33
CoastalBluewater

1.75 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.75
LightHeavy

282 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 282
EasygoingPowered-up

15.6 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 15.6
TenderStiff

53% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 53%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.

What the fleet has seen

The Jeanneau Fantasia 37, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Jeanneau Fantasia 37 is a Masthead Sloop, Fin Keel sailboat designed by Philippe H. Harle and built by Jeanneau from 1984 to the present. It measures 11.2 meters LOA, with a 3.4-meter beam, 1.8-meter draft, and 7599 kg displacement. Aboard *Sailing Doodles*, a 2001 Jeanneau 37 equipped with a generator, water maker, solar panels, and 460 amp hours of battery capacity, the crew sailed in a seven-boat flotilla from Poros, Greece, to Mandraki Bay on Hydra, using the jib in light following winds.7:22 The crew secured the boat to shore by swimming a line to a rock, then rafted with other boats.2:12 The *Sailing Doodles* crew has also discussed general cruising in Greece, noting that a 37-foot vessel can berth at town quays for 18 to 20 euros per night and that cruising permits for boats under 18 meters cost 100 to 200 euros for three months.11:46 They practice "med-mooring" by dropping anchor and backing to a seawall or quay.5:34
