About the Hirsch 62

With limited specifications publicly available, the Hirsch 62 represents one of the more enigmatic designs in the 62-foot sailing yacht category. This substantial vessel falls squarely into the luxury cruising segment, where its impressive length suggests serious offshore capabilities and spacious accommodations for extended voyaging. Given its size classification, the Hirsch 62 would typically appeal to experienced sailors seeking a platform capable of handling both coastal exploration and blue-water passages. Yachts in this range generally offer the structural integrity and stability necessary for ocean crossings, while providing the interior volume needed for comfortable long-term cruising. The relative scarcity of detailed information about this model suggests it may have had limited production numbers or represents a boutique design from a smaller shipyard. This exclusivity often translates to careful construction and attention to detail, though it can also mean fewer examples available on the used boat market. For prospective buyers researching the Hirsch 62, the limited available data underscores the importance of thorough inspection and surveying, particularly given the investment level typical of vessels in this size range. The boat's reputation would likely rest on build quality and seaworthiness rather than widespread market presence.

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
15.46
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
45.19
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
1.6
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. 9.48
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. 2.0
