Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 17
CoastalBluewater

2.14 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.14
LightHeavy

135 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 135
EasygoingPowered-up

26.1 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 26.1
TenderStiff

42% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 42%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

The Jpk 1030 is a 10.3-meter sailboat model designed by Jacques Valer and built by JPK Composites since 2019. It features a fin keel with dual rudders, a 3.2-meter beam, a 2.0-meter draft, and displaces 3600 kg. The boat has an SA/disp of 26.1 and a comfort ratio of 17.0. Optional features include two 300-liter water ballast tanks and a cast iron and lead bulb keel.
