Europe vs Skunk 11: the short version
- The Europe and Skunk 11 are close in length (11.0 ft3.35 m vs 11.1 ft3.38 m ).
- The Skunk 11 is heavier, displacing about 92% more, which usually means a steadier but slower-to-accelerate hull.
- By the capsize screening formula the Skunk 11 rates better for offshore work (3.77 vs 4.08).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
