About the IDYLLE 1150 (BENETEAU)
Derived from the FIRST 35 (aka BENETEAU R/C 35). Hull Length: 11.1m / 36.42ft
The Beneteau Idylle 1150 is a 37.73 ft masthead sloop designed by Jean Berret and built by Beneteau (FRA) between 1983 and 1988. With a displacement of 11464.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 20.22, this vessel represents a classic French cruising design from the mid-80s, though the exact number of hulls built is not specified in the available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform for weekend getaways or short offshore passages, given its moderate displacement and fin keel configuration.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.16 and a displacement of 11464.0 lb, the Idylle 1150 possesses adequate stability for coastal and protected offshore cruising, though its fin keel and moderate ballast ratio suggest it is not a heavy-displacement bluewater passagemaker.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 36 and the O'Day 36, as they share similar beam dimensions (around 12 ft) and displacement ranges, offering a balance of performance and interior volume typical of 1980s production cruisers.
