Blew By U
51′ Beneteau Cyclades
This veteran of the Around-Vancouver-Island race was featured in Sailing Magazine in Dec 2016! Beamy and powerful, this Berret & Racoupeau design will please the most performance-oriented sailor while providing comfortable accommodations for exploring.
The perfect long distance cruiser! An elegant and spacious interior with 12′ fore/aft galley, saloon seating for eight, center ‘prep’ island, 6’5″ headroom, dedicated Navigation Station, and a head for every stateroom.
Hiring a skipper? There is a stateroom/head just for them. No Crew? Use the extra room for solitude or storage.
On deck, relax in a spacious cockpit, eat lunch around the folding table, steer from twin helms – all under an innovative ‘freestanding’ Bimini. Board the roomy stable dinghy via a step-thru transom. Roller furling head sail, with a main sail that features lazy jacks and stack pack, plus all sheets and halyards lead aft to simplify sail handling.
