About the CYCLADES 51.5 (BENETEAU)
Same hull as MOORINGS 51.5.
The Beneteau Cyclades 51.5 is a fractional sloop designed by Berret/Racoupeau and built by Beneteau in 2005. With a displacement of 30142.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 23.12, this vessel represents a specific production year with an unknown total build count.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform with a wide 16.0 ft beam and fractional rig for manageable handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.06 and a displacement of 30142.0 lb, the Cyclades 51.5 offers moderate offshore stability, though its fin keel and relatively light displacement suggest it is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extreme bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include other large Beneteau cruising yachts and similarly sized fractional sloops that prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over pure racing performance.
