About the Moorings 402Cc

Designed by the respected French naval architecture firm Group Finot and built by Beneteau starting in 1996, this 41-footer represents a well-balanced approach to performance cruising. The "Cc" designation indicates this model was specifically configured for charter operations with The Moorings fleet, emphasizing durability and ease of handling over pure racing optimization. The hull combines a fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, delivering responsive handling while maintaining the stability needed for comfortable cruising. With a moderate displacement of 18,700 pounds and generous beam of 12.75 feet, the design prioritizes interior volume and initial stability. The masthead sloop rig provides straightforward sail handling, while the sail area to displacement ratio of 17.21 ensures adequate performance in light to moderate conditions. The boat's comfort ratio of 25.62 suggests a design that favors motion comfort over pure speed, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and short offshore passages. The capsize screening value of 1.93 indicates reasonable stability for ocean sailing, though this yacht shines brightest in protected waters and coastal exploration. Group Finot's influence is evident in the clean lines and practical layout that prioritize livability without sacrificing sailing characteristics.

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
 17.21
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 28.34
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
 168.2
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
 25.62
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
 1.93
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. 8.12 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. 1,674.23 pounds/inch
