About the IDYLLE 1050 (BENETEAU)
Hull length: 10m / 32.8ft Thanks to P. Perrin of Briand Yacht Design for correction.
The Beneteau Idylle 1050 is a 34.45 ft masthead sloop designed by Andre Beneteau and built by Beneteau (FRA) in 1985. With a displacement of 10141.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 21.44, it represents a classic late-80s French cruising design, though the exact number of hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over high-performance racing metrics. Its moderate displacement and fin keel configuration make it well-suited for protected waters and moderate offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.03 and a displacement of 10141.0 lb, the Idylle 1050 is capable of coastal and nearshore cruising but lacks the heavy displacement and robust construction typically required for serious bluewater passagemaking.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 343 and the O'Day 34, which share similar beam dimensions and cruising-oriented layouts. These vessels offer similar interior volumes and ease of handling for short-handed crews.
