Sprint 95 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Sprint 95 means looking at a 31-foot French racer-cruiser that Archambault produced from 1989 through 1997, ninety in all, now out of production. Joubert & Nivelt drew her as a tiller-steered fractional sloop with a walk-through reverse transom and an optional shoal keel, and the surviving boats on the brokerage market reflect that original brief rather than heavy cruising conversion.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Sprint 95 carries two cabins within a 9.58-foot beam and a 31.10-foot overall length, with the standard fin keel drawing 5.91 feet and the optional shoal keel 4.27. The walk-through reverse transom shapes the cockpit and stern access, and the internally mounted spade rudder is tiller-controlled. Below, the fresh water capacity is 13 U.S. gallons and the fuel tank 8 U.S. gallons, so the layouts you find are fundamentally coastal racer-cruiser interiors, not reworked liveaboards.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, a spinnaker, cockpit shower, and autopilot are commonly fitted to the Sprint 95, the three recurring upgrades that signal a boat used for both club racing and relaxed coastal days. The spinnaker extends her downwind range, the cockpit shower makes the reverse transom practical for swimming, and the autopilot takes the edge off short-handed manoeuvring given the tiller helm. Beyond those, expect the standard Yanmar 1GM10 diesel of 10 hp fitted for docking and manoeuvring rather than any significant auxiliary power upgrade.
What to Inspect
The walk-through reverse transom and internally mounted spade rudder are features to examine for gelcoat crazing and rudder stock play consistent with a 30-year-old fibreglass hull.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Sprint 95 typically appears on the used market in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Italy. For a buyer, the short list is: confirm keel type (standard fin or shoal draft), verify the Yanmar 1GM10 starts and shifts cleanly for its docking role, check the tiller and spade rudder for wear, and confirm the commonly fitted spinnaker, cockpit shower, and autopilot are present and serviceable.
