Beneteau Oceanis 50

• By Herb McCormick
• Updated: April 29, 2011

When Beneteau’s brass decided it was due time to launch the fifth generation of long-range cruising boats in the company’s popular Oceanis line, they did so at the upper echelon of the fleet, with a powerful 58-footer and the new Beneteau Oceanis 50, which debuted in Miami last winter and was in Annapolis last October. The focal point for the 50 (and the 58, as well), which replaces a former 49-footer in the builder’s collection, is the sweeping fixed arch just forward of the cockpit.

Stylish and contemporary in appearance, the arch is also strong and useful, providing a solid framework for a dodger and a bimini—which, when in place, effectively open up the living area down below by sheltering the wide, generously sized companionway—as well as the fixed point for the mainsheet block and tackle that’s rigged conveniently nearby at the end of the boom (for trimming, the sheet itself is ultimately led aft to the cockpit). Compared with the old 49, the standard mast is a tad shorter (and “bridge friendly” for the Intracoastal Waterway), but the boom has been extended, contributing to the whopping working sail area of over 1,100 square feet. To control it all, a furling main is standard on the double-spreader Seldén fractional rig; a traditional mainsail is optional.

Though the Oceanis 50 employs the same hull as its predecessor, the lean, clean deck is new and adds to the “makeover” theme that’s consistent throughout the yacht. With a pair of elongated “eyebrow” ports that flow nicely with the no-nonsense lines of the low-profile deckhouse, a near plumb bow, and an almost razor-sharp sheer line, the 50 is a very modern, purposeful-looking design. Stainless-steel handrails abound, there’s plenty of light and ventilation via a plethora of portholes, deck panels, and hatches, and there’s a massive forward sail locker just aft of the vertical anchor windlass.

Two keels are available on the Oceanis 50, which is built in the United States at Beneteau’s South Carolina facility: a shoal-draft version drawing 5 feet 9 inches and a deep-draft model that draws nearly 7 feet. The latter, coupled with an optional 67-foot spar, will be a formidable combination for those seeking swift and efficient offshore passages.

There are choices to be made in the interior plan, too, the furnishings for which are now rendered in easy-on-the-eyes Alpi mahogany and highlighted by LED internal lighting; LEDs are also used for the navigation lights. Owners can opt for the double-cabin version, with a spacious stern stateroom, or a triple-cabin model, with twin doubles aft and the owner’s suite stationed in the bow; both come with two heads. That decision will probably depend on whether you’re sailing off as a couple or bringing your next generation along for the journey.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Also available with shoal draft fin with bulb. (draft: 5.92’) Rig dimensions are for “standard rig’. Also called MOORINGS 503, 504, 505, STARDUST 505, depending on layout.

The Competition

Beneteau is a well-known and respected brand of sailboats and powerboats that has been in business since 1884. Beneteau boats are designed to be durable, fast, comfortable, and versatile. Depending on the model and the configuration, Beneteau boats can be used for different purposes, such as cruising, racing, fishing, watersports, or entertaining.

Beneteau boats are also known for their innovative features, such as the removable forward bulkhead on the Oceanis 35, the Air Step hull on the Flyer range, or the IPS system on the Gran Turismo line.

Beneteau boats have many competitors in their class, such as Jeanneau, Catalina, Hunter, Bavaria, or Dufour. Each brand has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the best choice depends on your personal preferences, budget, and sailing goals.

Some of the factors that you may want to consider when comparing Beneteau with other boats are:

• Built quality : Beneteau boats are generally well-built and reliable, but some models may have a lighter construction than others. For example, some online reviews suggest that Jeanneau boats have a stronger hull than Beneteau boats because they use a glassed-in grid system instead of a glued-in liner system. However, this may not be true for all models or years of production. You may want to consult a professional surveyor or inspect the boat yourself before buying.
• Performance : Beneteau boats are designed to offer a good balance between speed and comfort, but some models may perform better than others depending on the conditions and the sail plan. For example, some online reviews suggest that Catalina boats are more stable and easier to handle than Beneteau boats because they have a deeper keel and a more conservative rig. However, this may also affect their speed and maneuverability. You may want to test sail the boat yourself or compare the specifications and ratings before buying.
• Interior : Beneteau boats are known for their spacious and luxurious interiors, but some models may have more or less room than others depending on the layout and the options. For example, some online reviews suggest that Beneteau boats have more storage and larger cabins than Jeanneau boats because they are designed for charter and family market. However, this may also affect their performance and weight. You may want to check the interior dimensions and features before buying.
• Warranty : Beneteau boats come with a standard warranty of 3 years for parts and labor and 7 years for structural defects. However, some models may have different or extended warranties depending on the year of production or the dealer. For example, some online reviews suggest that Jeanneau boats have a longer general warranty of 5 years. However, this may also depend on the terms and conditions of the warranty. You may want to read the warranty policy carefully before buying.
• Price : Beneteau boats are priced near the top of the market compared to other similar boats. However, some models may be more or less expensive than others depending on the size, configuration, features, and availability. For example, some online reviews suggest that Hunter boats are more affordable than Beneteau boats because they have a simpler design and fewer options. However, this may also affect their quality and performance. You may want to compare the prices and value before buying.
