Europe vs Reggae: the short version
- The Europe and Reggae are close in length (11.0 ft3.35 m vs 11.0 ft3.36 m ).
- The Europe is heavier, displacing about 191% more, which usually means a steadier but slower-to-accelerate hull.
- By the capsize screening formula the Reggae rates better for offshore work (2.72 vs 4.08).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
