About the Elite 64

With limited technical specifications available, the Elite 64 represents a sizeable sailing yacht that likely caters to serious cruising enthusiasts seeking both comfort and performance on extended voyages. At this length, the vessel would typically offer substantial interior volume for accommodating crew and guests during coastal and offshore passages. Boats in this size range often feature robust construction designed to handle challenging sea conditions, making them suitable for blue water cruising adventures. The Elite 64 would presumably incorporate modern design elements focused on seaworthiness and ease of handling, despite its considerable size. Given the substantial length, this yacht likely offers impressive sail area and the potential for strong performance under various wind conditions. The design probably emphasizes a balance between cruising comfort and sailing capability, with generous deck space for line handling and relaxation. Without detailed specifications, prospective buyers should investigate the boat's construction materials, sail plan configuration, and interior layout to determine if it matches their intended sailing program. The Elite 64 appears positioned for sailors seeking a substantial cruising platform capable of extended offshore passages while providing the comfort expected in a yacht of this caliber.

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
28.46
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
36.12
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
1.74
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. 9.68
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. 3.0
