Blew By U

51′ Beneteau Cyclades

Introducing Blew By U, a 51′ Beneteau Cyclades that combines exceptional performance with comfort and style. A standout in the sailing world, this yacht proudly participated in the prestigious Around-Vancouver-Island race and was even featured in Sailing Magazine in December 2016. Designed by the renowned Berret & Racoupeau, it’s perfect for sailors who crave adventure without compromising on luxury.

Whether you’re planning a long-distance cruise or a leisurely exploration, Blew By U offers the ideal combination of speed and relaxation. The interior is both elegant and spacious, with a 12′ fore/aft galley, a saloon that comfortably seats eight, and a central ‘prep’ island. The 6’5″ headroom creates a roomy atmosphere, while the dedicated navigation station and separate heads for each stateroom ensure comfort and convenience for all aboard.

Planning to hire a skipper? They’ll enjoy their own private stateroom and head. If you’re sailing solo or with a small group, the extra space is perfect for privacy or additional storage.

On deck, Blew By U offers plenty of room to relax. Enjoy meals at the folding cockpit table, take the helm from either of the twin steering stations, and cruise under the innovative freestanding Bimini. The easy-to-board, stable dinghy is accessible via a step-thru transom. For smooth sailing, the roller furling headsail and mainsail with lazy jacks and stack pack, along with all sheets and halyards leading aft, make sail handling a breeze.

With Blew By U, you’ll experience the best of both worlds—performance and comfort, wherever your journey takes you.
