About the BENETEAU 62
The Beneteau 62 is a large, performance-oriented cruising yacht designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Beneteau/CNB. With only 1 hull built in 1995, this rare vessel represents a specific era of large, fast cruising designs.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced sailors seeking a large, fast cruising platform, as its high SA/D ratio of 24.97 suggests strong performance capabilities. It is well-suited for those who prioritize speed and modern layout over traditional heavy-displacement comfort.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 55115.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.8, the Beneteau 62 offers reasonable offshore stability, though its single-hull rarity means specific bluewater history is limited in the data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other large Farr-designed yachts from the mid-1990s, such as the O'Day 38 or similar large production cruisers, due to the shared emphasis on performance cruising. Its unique status as a single-hull build makes it most comparable to other rare, large, fast cruisers of that specific year.
