About the Allmand 225

Built during a period when French boatbuilding was establishing its reputation for quality construction and thoughtful design, this compact cruiser represents the kind of practical sailing vessel that emerged from European yards in the latter decades of the 20th century. While detailed specifications remain elusive, the Allmand 225 appears to fall into the category of coastal cruisers designed for weekend adventures and short-term cruising along protected waters. French builders of this era were known for creating boats that balanced affordability with seaworthiness, and the Allmand 225 likely reflects this philosophy. The design would have been intended for sailors seeking a manageable boat that could handle day sailing and short coastal passages without requiring a large crew or extensive sailing experience. Given the typical characteristics of boats from this builder and period, prospective owners can expect reasonable interior accommodations for its size, with the emphasis placed on functionality rather than luxury. The boat would be well-suited for sailors looking to explore coastal waters, enjoy weekend getaways, or learn cruising skills on a forgiving platform that doesn't demand the maintenance commitment of larger vessels.

Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore

Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended

Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 5.97
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
