Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Boréal 52 is a modern, performance-oriented cruising yacht designed by Jean-François Delvoye and built by Boréal in France, with production records indicating a build year of 2014. As a relatively new entry in the market, the fleet is small, with the exact total hull count currently unconfirmed in available data sources.

Best for:
This vessel is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and offshore adventurers who prioritize sailing performance and modern ergonomics, leveraging its cutter rig for versatile sail handling in varying wind conditions.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 36376.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.85, and a full/long keel, the Boréal 52 demonstrates strong offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics suitable for extended bluewater passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 52 and the Beneteo Oceanis 52.3, as they share similar displacement ranges, beam dimensions, and a focus on combining bluewater capability with comfortable living spaces for the same era.
