Construction

Sources

Dimensions per Beneteau/GlobeSailor spec sheets; displacement is light-ship figure. Used the deep-draft cast-iron keel option (of three offered) as representative; ballast/draft vary by keel option (shoal and 'performance' lead-bulb variants also offered -- performance keel adds a bulb). Sail area: 920 sqft is the standard 100% (self-tacking jib + classic mainsail) figure; a larger optional 'classic main + full genoa' combination totals ~1,242 sqft but is not used here to stay consistent with the 100%-foretriangle convention. Hull explicitly 'molded in polyester' per sailboatdata; deck is injected fiberglass/foam sandwich. Standard mast is 66'8" aluminum; taller aluminum or carbon performance masts offered as options. Verified 2026-07-09. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Twin rudders (spade-type, standard for this wide-transom hull form; construction material not independently confirmed). Fuel 200L/~52.8gal, water 370L/~97.7gal. No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
