About the Delphia 29 2014 2018

Built between 2014 and 2018, this Polish-designed cruising sailboat represents Delphia Yachts' commitment to creating versatile coastal cruisers for modern sailors. Designer Andrzej Skrzat crafted a well-balanced 31-footer that prioritizes comfort and practicality over racing performance, making it an excellent choice for weekend cruising and extended coastal passages. The boat's most distinctive feature is its swing keel configuration, which reduces draft significantly when retracted, opening up shallow anchorages and gunkholing opportunities typically reserved for much smaller boats. This design flexibility, combined with the outboard rudder arrangement, provides excellent maneuverability in tight quarters and simplified maintenance access. With a moderate sail area to displacement ratio of 18.04 and capsize screening value of 2.04, the Delphia 29 strikes a sensible balance between performance and stability. The fractional sloop rig offers manageable sail handling for smaller crews while maintaining respectable upwind performance. At 6,834 pounds displacement with nearly 2,000 pounds of ballast, she carries enough weight for comfortable motion in choppy conditions. The GRP construction ensures durability and low maintenance, while the compact 13-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering and motorsailing in light conditions.

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
 18.04
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy

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
 18.25
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. 6.9 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 5.51 pounds/inch
