About the Crown 39

With limited specifications available, the Crown 39 represents a lesser-documented chapter in recreational sailing history, making it an intriguing prospect for sailors interested in unique vessels. This 39-foot sailboat appears to have been produced during an era when many manufacturers were exploring different approaches to mid-sized cruising yacht design. Given its size classification, the Crown 39 would likely appeal to sailors seeking a balance between manageable handling and comfortable accommodations for extended coastal cruising or offshore passages. Boats in this length range typically offer sufficient interior volume for live-aboard potential while remaining within the capabilities of a small crew or couple to handle effectively. The scarcity of detailed information about this model suggests it may have had limited production numbers, potentially making it a distinctive choice for sailors who appreciate owning something outside the mainstream. For prospective buyers researching the Crown 39, the limited available data means extra diligence would be required to assess individual examples, focusing on surveying the hull integrity, rigging condition, and mechanical systems rather than relying on established reputation or widespread owner feedback that exists for more common production boats.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
20.21
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
27.66
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
1.82
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. 7.36
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
