Designed by Farr Yacht Design and launched in 1995, this impressive 62-footer represents Beneteau's serious venture into the luxury performance cruising market through their premium CNB division. With its sleek fin keel and bulb design paired with a spade rudder configuration, the yacht delivers the sophisticated sailing characteristics expected from Bruce Farr's renowned design philosophy. The boat's substantial 55,115-pound displacement provides excellent stability and seaworthiness for extended offshore passages, while the generous sail area of 2,250 square feet ensures spirited performance in light to moderate conditions. The masthead sloop rig offers versatility and ease of handling, making it manageable for couples or small crews on long-distance cruising adventures. Built to high standards with fiberglass construction, this yacht strikes an appealing balance between comfort and performance. The moderate comfort ratio suggests good motion at sea without sacrificing sailing ability, while the favorable capsize screening formula indicates strong stability characteristics suitable for ocean crossings. With a theoretical hull speed approaching 9.6 knots, experienced sailors will find this boat capable of covering serious miles efficiently. This model appeals particularly to cruising sailors seeking a sophisticated platform for Mediterranean chartering, Caribbean adventures, or transoceanic voyaging where comfort and performance are equally valued.
