Built by French yacht manufacturer Jeanneau starting in 1994, this Farr-designed charter boat represents a thoughtful balance between performance and livability. At nearly 50 feet overall with a generous 15.92-foot beam, the International 50 Moorings was specifically engineered for the demanding charter fleet environment where durability and ease of handling take precedence. The wing keel configuration reduces draft to just 6 feet while maintaining stability, making this yacht accessible to more cruising grounds and shallow anchorages. With 1,205 square feet of sail area driving 33,000 pounds of displacement, the boat offers respectable performance with a theoretical hull speed of 8.72 knots, though it's clearly optimized for comfortable cruising rather than racing. The masthead sloop rig keeps sail handling straightforward, essential for charter operations where crews of varying experience levels take the helm. Farr's design philosophy shines through in the boat's seaworthiness – the capsize screening formula of 1.99 and moderate comfort ratio of 28.72 suggest a yacht capable of offshore passages while remaining comfortable in typical cruising conditions. The 85-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters and pushing through calms during extended coastal cruising.
