About the Voyage 125 Jeanneau

Designed by Guy Ribadeau Dumas and launched in 1987, the Voyage 125 represents Jeanneau's commitment to creating capable cruising sailboats that balance comfort with seaworthiness. This 41-foot masthead sloop features a moderate displacement design with a fin keel and skeg-mounted rudder configuration that provides excellent directional stability and protection for the rudder assembly. With a displacement of nearly 18,000 pounds and substantial ballast of 7,385 pounds, the Voyage 125 offers the stability and sea-kindly motion that long-distance cruisers appreciate. The comfortable 24.76 comfort ratio suggests this boat will provide a stable platform in offshore conditions, while the capsize screening value of 2.04 indicates reasonable safety margins for coastal and offshore passages. The generous beam of over 13 feet translates to spacious accommodations below, making extended cruising more comfortable for couples or small families. Her moderate sail area to displacement ratio suggests steady, predictable sailing characteristics rather than racing performance, perfectly suited to the boat's cruising mission. The reliable 55-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters or powering through calms. This French-built cruiser appeals to sailors seeking a well-built platform for serious coastal and offshore cruising adventures.

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
 18.57
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
 41.1
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
 216.63
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
 24.76
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
 2.04
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. 7.74 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. 1,587.49 pounds/inch
