Court 650

Built by Australia's Court Yachts to Jim Wiltshire's design, this 28-foot fractional sloop represents a thoughtful approach to coastal cruising with versatility as its hallmark. The swing keel configuration allows for exploration of shallow waters while maintaining respectable sailing performance when the keel is fully deployed at 4.30 feet. With a displacement of just over 2,000 pounds and a sail area of 159 square feet, the Court 650 strikes a balance between manageable size and sailing capability. The relatively high sail area to displacement ratio of 15.83 suggests spirited performance in light to moderate conditions, while the fiberglass construction ensures durability for extended coastal adventures. The boat's comfort ratio of 9.73 indicates a design optimized more for day sailing and short-term cruising rather than extended offshore passages, making it ideal for weekend getaways and coastal exploration. The swing keel feature particularly appeals to sailors wanting access to shallow anchorages and launching ramps, while the outboard rudder configuration provides positive steering control and simplified maintenance. This design caters well to sailors seeking an easily managed coastal cruiser that doesn't compromise on sailing enjoyment, offering the flexibility to explore varied cruising grounds with confidence.
