2008 Beneteau Cyclades 50.5

Listed
Expired
$154,500 USD

Seller's Description

$154.500

(PLEASE NOTE: This boat is in PUERTO RICO)

FIVE Cabins PLUS crew cabin! If you have kids or like to have guests, or would like to charter, this could be the perfect boat for you. She is easy to sail, can be single handed and is quite fast! Her typical cruising speed here in the Caribbean is 8-10 knots.

It is with great sadness that we are selling our boat. But due to health reasons we have no other choice. We have kept her in the Caribbean, made upgrades to make her more seaworthy and more sea kindly, but ended up scarcely sailing her these past 8 years. She has been our floating condo 98 percent of the time and stayed dockside. Kept in great condition the entire time by owner. We are currently living onboard, so you will have to see it with some of our things onboard.

4 double cabins, plus 1 cabin with two bunks, 3 full heads with showers and sumps, and a small crew cabin with partial head.

This boat has IMPRESSIVE storage space. No other boat near its size has so much storage or as many cabins and sleeping berths.

Yanmar 120hp engine, 1200 hours Keel bolts are in perfect condition. Sails are like new. Very, very little use. 110 gallon diesel capacity. 250 gallon water capacity.

10’4” rigid fiberglass dinghy and 2 stroke 4.5hp Yamaha outboard.

Gas stove with oven and two gas bottles. The galley is very large and has exceptional food storage space, 2 Fridges, one with freezer compartment and another very effective cold plate fridge. We are including a very nice assortment of quality pots, pans, cookware utensils, silverware, and microwave.

NEW large double membrane 40gph water maker installed Sept. 2023.

Equipment: PLEASE NOTE: Cyclades are former charter boats. No matter what glowing praise they lavish on them in their ads, most are in need of all kinds of attention and upgrades. Our boat was also a charter, but we have upgraded or replaced most everything since we bought her, as follows.

New spinnaker made by Doyle Sails. Not used once. New spinnaker sock and ATN Tracker.

Standing rigging replaced. Blocks replaced. (17 total) New and oversized forestay chain plate installed. Replaced steering cables. New Marelon thru-hulls and valves (13 total) Rudder post bushings replaced. Anchor windlass rebuilt. New oversized Rocna anchor. New oversized Fortress anchor. New Claw anchor. New 3/8” high-test G4 chain (200’) New 200’ Three strand 7/8” Shackles and swivels replaced. Second bow roller installed. Dinghy chocks installed. New VHF radio.

Rewired for 110 volts. Wireless Internet access point installed with external high gain antenna. External TV antenna with booster installed. LED running lights installed Sept. 2024 Dual 12v and 110v systems installed for fresh water pump and fridges. (So you don’t have to run your pump and fridges on battery power while dockside!) Hot water heater element and thermostat replaced. New shower heads and hoses. Raymarine wind direction, depth, auto pilot control panels, transducer and cable replaced.

Plastimo life raft (inspection long overdue, sorry) Sump pumps replaced (3) Replaced bilge pump. Window tint on hatches. Blinds installed on hatches. Two 120w solar panels with oversized charge controller that will accept up to four more. New 2500w inverter.

Three coats of International bottom paint Aug. 2022 zincs and cutlass bearing replaced. She comes with 8 life jackets, harnesses, tethers, 10 new lifetime warranty fenders, a lot of cordage spares and goodies! And cockpit cushions. Six rods and reels, two dive tanks, VCs, masks, snorkels, weights, and a spear gun.

Calculations

Hull Speed
11.3 kn
Classic: 8.81 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

11.33 knots
Classic formula: 8.81 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.6
>20: high performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
20.57
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
31.2
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

31.15
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
154.4
100-200: light

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
154.35
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.2
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
23.23
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
2.12
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The CYCLADES 50.5 has 5 cabins. Same hull for the CYCLADES 50.4 with 4 cabins and a 3 cabin version, the 50.3.
Mostly sold to the charter trade.
