Sailing performance comparison
Compare this design with similar-sized monohulls using published model dimensions. The highlighted row is this listing’s model.
Theoretical hull speed
Calculated from waterline length; this is a reference for a displacement hull, not a predicted cruising speed.
Sail area to displacement
A design ratio that indicates sail power relative to displacement. Higher values generally indicate more sail power for the boat’s weight.
Estimates use model-level dimensions and published sail area, not sea-trial results. Real speed varies with sails, loading, weather, sea state, keel configuration and vessel condition. Missing data is not guessed.
Compare with similar-sized sailboats
Published design figures for monohulls within 8 feet of this model. Bars are scaled to the largest value in this comparison; the highlighted row is this listing’s model.
Motion comfort ratio
Higher often suggests gentler motion
Capsize screening ratio
Lower is generally more conservative
Comparison uses model-level displacement and dimensions, not measured stability or vessel condition. Results can differ by keel, year and loading. These ratios do not determine offshore seaworthiness.
Before you make an offer
Ask for records and arrange an independent inspection so you can judge this specific boat, not just its model design.
- Review a recent independent survey, including hull, deck, keel, rudder and any repairs.
- Check engine hours, service records, oil or coolant leaks, and a sea trial under power.
- Confirm the standing rigging age and condition; inspect sails, mast, boom and deck hardware.
- Test steering, electrical systems, plumbing, electronics, safety gear and listed equipment.
- Verify registration or title, ownership, liens and what equipment is included in the sale.
Specifications and comparisons describe the model. An independent survey and sea trial help assess this individual vessel.

Overview of this boat
The Santorin 46 is a traditional Amel offshore ketch with a protected cockpit and skeg-supported rudder, conceived as a smaller successor to the Maramu 46. Its divided sail plan and ample tankage favor long-distance cruising.

Performance Analysis
Calculated from published model dimensions when available, not from an inspection of this individual vessel. Comparable models should be similar in size and hull type.
Motion comfort ratio
Higher generally indicates slower, gentler motion for similarly sized monohulls.
Capsize screening ratio
Lower is more conservative by this historical screening formula; 2.0 is a reference point, not a safety certification.
Reference formulas: Brewer motion comfort = displacement ÷ [0.65 × (0.7 LWL + 0.3 LOA) × beam^1.333]; capsize screening = beam ÷ (displacement / 64)^(1/3). Imperial units. Missing dimensions are not guessed. Neither figure predicts actual stability, safety, or seaworthiness.
