About the Etendard

With limited specifications available in current databases, the Etendard represents one of those intriguing sailboat designs that requires deeper research to fully appreciate. The name itself, derived from the French word for "standard" or "banner," suggests European origins and possibly military or naval heritage influences in its conception. Based on the naming convention and typical French marine design philosophy, this sailboat likely embodies the classic European approach to sailing—emphasizing seaworthiness, traditional construction methods, and versatility across different sailing conditions. French-influenced designs often prioritize coastal cruising capabilities while maintaining respectable performance characteristics. Without comprehensive specifications readily available, prospective buyers should investigate the boat's construction materials, rig configuration, and interior layout through direct inspection or specialized marine surveys. The limited documentation may indicate either a boutique production run, regional builder, or older design that predates modern database cataloging. For sailors considering an Etendard, connecting with existing owners, marine brokers familiar with European designs, or yacht clubs in regions where these boats were originally marketed could provide valuable insights into the vessel's sailing characteristics, maintenance requirements, and overall reputation among the sailing community.

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
16.57
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
26.8
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
1.85
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. 6.6
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. 839.79
