About the BAROUDEUR (BENETEAU)
The Beneteau Baroudeur is a compact 22.31 ft masthead sloop designed by Andre Beneteau and built by Beneteau between 1970 and 1980. With a total production of 200 hulls, this vessel represents a specific era of French boatbuilding characterized by its full/long keel and moderate displacement of 5071.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing, particularly for owners seeking a manageable, trailerable package with a shallow max draft of 3.44 ft. Its dimensions and rigging make it accessible for single-handers or couples looking for a low-maintenance, classic-style cruiser.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the full/long keel and low capsize ratio of 1.9 suggest inherent stability, the relatively light displacement of 5071.0 lb and short LWL of 19.19 ft limit its suitability to protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other 22-foot full-keel designs from the 1970s, such as the O'Day 22 or Pearson 22, which share similar displacement and traditional hull forms. These boats are comparable due to their emphasis on stability and ease of handling over high-performance racing metrics.
