About the CYCLADES 39.3 (BENETEAU)
Probably based on the earlier BENETEAU 393/OCEANIS 393. CYCLADES was a brand sold primarily to the charter trade.
The Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 is a fractional sloop designed by Berret/Racoupeau and built by Beneteau, with production records indicating a build year of 2007. This model represents a specific iteration in the Cyclades line, characterized by a displacement of 15642.0 lb and a beam of 12.96 ft.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over heavy offshore performance, supported by a high SA/D ratio of 16.41 and a low capsize ratio of 2.08.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a comfort ratio of 21.98 and a displacement of 15642.0 lb, the boat is designed for comfortable coastal cruising rather than heavy bluewater passagemaking, though its fin keel and fractional rig offer adequate stability for protected offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 38 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 38.2, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, comparable beam widths, and target the same market of comfortable coastal cruising.
