2007 Beneteau Cyclades 50

The 2007 Beneteau Cyclades 50 is a 50-foot cruising sailboat with a fiberglass hull and solid beam of 18.58 feet, powered by a single 40-horsepower Yammer diesel engine. Built for extended ocean passages and comfortable cruising, the boat combines straightforward handling with well-organized systems suitable for single-handed sailing or crew operation.

Below deck, three private cabins accommodate extended voyages or liveaboard use, with three en-suite heads including a separate shower room in the forward stateroom. The main salon features a U-shaped dinette and separate settee with secondary refrigeration. The galley is fully equipped with a primary fridge, double sink, two-burner cooktop, microwave, and toaster oven. Three air conditioning units and all-LED lighting support comfort in any climate.

The sailing plan includes an in-mast furling mainsail, jib, and Code Zero sail, all controlled by electric winches and organized sheet clutches. A dedicated sail locker provides extra storage. Navigation systems include GPS, radar, and Navionics chartplotting, plus autopilot for extended passages.

Self-sufficiency at anchor is supported by 800 watts of solar panels with inverter, a wind generator, a 7.5-kilowatt genset, and a 30-gallon-per-hour watermaker. A bow thruster simplifies docking. Cruising speed is approximately 7.9 knots with a maximum speed of 10 knots.
