The Espace 800 (English: Space) is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a cruising motorsailer and first built in 1981. The boat is part of the Espace series of cruising sailboats and its designation indicates its length overall in centimeters.[1][2][3][4][5]
Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1981 to 1984, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7]
Design
The Espace 800 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a single set of spreaders and aluminum spars with stainless steel wire rigging. The mainsheet is rigged to a cockpit arch. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 7,716 lb (3,500 kg) and carries 2,646 lb (1,200 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 6.07 ft (1.85 m) with the centerboard extended and 3.22 ft (0.98 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 29 U.S. gallons (110 L; 24 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal).[1][2][5]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an "L"-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side amidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side and includes a shower.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.07 kn (11.24 km/h).[2]
