About the MOORINGS 51.5
Same hull as CYCLADES 51.5 (BENETEAU) but with different rig and keel.
The Moorings 51.5 is a fractional sloop designed by Berret/Racoupeau and built by Beneteau, with production records indicating a start year of 2005. As a large charter yacht, it offers substantial interior volume and performance characteristics typical of the brand's mid-2000s offerings, though specific total hull counts are not definitively established in the available data.
- Best for:
- This vessel is best suited for coastal cruising and short offshore passages, particularly for those prioritizing spacious accommodations and ease of handling over extreme bluewater ruggedness. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it a strong candidate for couples or families seeking a comfortable, performance-oriented charter experience.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 30142.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.06, the boat possesses adequate stability for coastal and nearshore passages, but its primary design focus on charter comfort rather than heavy reinforcement suggests it is best kept within sight of land or well-established routes.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau 50 and the Lagoon 42, as they share similar production eras and target the same market of spacious, performance-oriented coastal cruisers. The Beneteau 50 is a direct monohull competitor with similar dimensions and rigging philosophy, while the Lagoon 42 offers a multihull alternative for those prioritizing stability and space.
