BELLIURE 50

About the BELLIURE 50

Aft and center cockpit versions were available. Also rigged as ketch or schooner.

The Belliure 50 is a rare, heavy-displacement cruising yacht designed by Peter Ibold and Vicente Belliure, built by Belliure in Spain. With production limited to the year 1976 and an unknown total hull count, this vessel represents a specific era of European yacht building characterized by robust construction and traditional aesthetics.

Best for:

This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers or those seeking a spacious, comfortable liveaboard, given its significant beam of 13.78 ft and high comfort ratio of 43.8. Its cutter rig and substantial displacement of 40124.0 lb suggest it favors stability and ease of handling over high-speed performance.

Bluewater capability:

With a low capsize ratio of 1.61 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 279.25, the Belliure 50 exhibits strong inherent stability suitable for offshore passages. Its fin keel and heavy ballast of 14549.0 lb further support its capability as a safe, if not fast, bluewater cruiser.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include other late-1970s European heavy cruisers such as the Hallberg-Rassy 42 or the Ketches of the same era, as they share similar displacement characteristics and a focus on seaworthiness. The Belliure 50's specific design by Peter Ibold places it in the lineage of classic, solidly built trawler-style yachts.
