Design
editThe Espace 620 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars and stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional twin keels or stub keel and retractable centerboard. It displaces 2,646 lb (1,200 kg) and carries 992 lb (450 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 3.61 ft (1.10 m) when fitted with the standard fin keel.[1][2]
The boat may be optionally fitted with an inboard engine or a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and a drop-down double dinette. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 7 U.S. gallons (26 L; 5.8 imp gal).[1][2][3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 5.66 kn (10.48 km/h).[2]
