About the INTERNATIONAL 50 (MOORINGS)
Designed by Farr and built by Jeanneau in France, the International 50 is a high-performance cruising sloop with a production run limited to 1994. With a displacement of 33000.0 lb and a D/L ratio of 194.23, it balances speed with substantial comfort, though the exact number of hulls built remains unconfirmed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and short-to-medium offshore passages who prioritize performance and modern ergonomics over heavy bluewater displacement. Its 15.92 ft beam and 6.0 ft max draft make it well-suited for marinas and coastal waters rather than remote, shallow-water exploration.
- Bluewater capability:
- While its capsize ratio of 1.99 and comfort ratio of 28.72 suggest reasonable offshore stability, critical structural concerns regarding deck core moisture and keel integrity limit its suitability for extended bluewater voyaging without extensive survey and repair.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other late-90s Farr designs like the J/42 or J/44, as well as the Beneteau First 47, due to similar performance-oriented hull forms and masthead sloop rigs. It also shares DNA with the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44.2, though with a more racing-focused layout.
