Sailing Ratios

Classic yacht-design ratios worked out from the builder's published figures, each shown against the bands designers read it by.

Most builders publish a light displacement. The ratios were defined on a loaded boat, so every boat here reads a little lighter than a surveyor's figure would — all alike, which keeps them comparable.

About Sunbeam Yachts

Premium production

Austrian family yard building sailing yachts since 1950 — today the SUNBEAM 22.1, 28.1, 29.1, 29.1 GT and 32.1, from 6.85 to 9.98 metres — run by the third generation of the Schöchl family and moving in 2026 from Mattsee to a new shipyard at Munderfing.

Sunbeam Yachts has been developing and building sailing yachts in Austria for more than seventy-five years, from its yard at Mattsee. It took the European Yacht of the Year award twice, in 2008 and in 2019. Part of what the yard aims at is reachability on land as well as water: the Sunbeam 22.1, 28.1, 29.1 and 29.1 GT are each under 2.5 metres in beam and under 3.5 tonnes, and so can be trailed behind a suitable vehicle without a special permit.
