About the Elite 364

With minimal specifications publicly available, the Elite 364 represents one of the more elusive sailboat models in the research database. This scarcity of detailed information suggests either limited production numbers or a boat that operated within specialized markets during its manufacturing period. Based on the model designation, the Elite 364 likely falls into the mid-size cruising category, with the numerical suffix typically indicating overall length in the 36-foot range. This size class traditionally appeals to sailors seeking a balance between manageable single-handed sailing and comfortable accommodations for extended coastal cruising. The Elite brand name implies a focus on quality construction and performance-oriented design characteristics. Boats in this size range from performance-minded builders often feature moderate to aggressive sail plans designed to maximize sailing efficiency while maintaining reasonable handling characteristics for recreational sailors. Without comprehensive specifications available, potential buyers should exercise particular diligence in surveying any Elite 364 under consideration. The limited documentation may complicate parts availability and maintenance planning. However, this obscurity could also present opportunities for knowledgeable buyers to acquire a well-built sailboat at favorable pricing, particularly if the boat demonstrates solid construction quality and proper maintenance history.

Performance Ratios
PHRF Rating PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is a national racing handicap measured in seconds per nautical mile. Lower values indicate faster boats. Ratings are sourced from US Sailing's national database (median across 60+ regional fleets).
Under 0 — Ultralight racer0–90 — Performance racer90–150 — Cruiser/racer150–210 — Typical cruiserOver 210 — Heavy/slow cruiser
120
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
18.43
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
19.97
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
2.14
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. 7.19
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
