About the Privilege 395

Designed by Marc Lombard and built by Privilège Catamarans in 2004, this unique catamaran represents a rare find in today's market with only three hulls ever produced. The 395 stands out with its twin-keel configuration, an uncommon feature that provides enhanced directional stability and reduces leeway compared to traditional catamaran designs. At nearly 40 feet overall with a generous 21.5-foot beam, this boat offers the spacious accommodations and stability that make catamarans popular among cruising sailors. The fractional sloop rig with rotating spar delivers efficient sail handling and solid performance, while the modest 3.92-foot draft opens up shallow anchorages and coastal cruising grounds that deeper monohulls cannot access. The SA/Displacement ratio of 21.62 indicates respectable sailing performance for a cruising catamaran, making this boat well-suited for extended coastal passages and island hopping. Its fiberglass construction ensures durability for long-term cruising adventures. The twin 56-horsepower engines provide adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters and powering through calms. Given its extremely limited production run, the Privilège 395 represents an exclusive opportunity for sailors seeking a distinctive cruising platform with proven French build quality and innovative design features.

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
