A hard-to-find model in good condition. Fresh water sailed and hoist kept, with new bottom in 2023. A very stable vessel with twin rudders, drawing 511 with swing keel deployed, yet only 24 with keel retracted, making shoal coves or beaching accessible and trailering easy. A pivoting mast system allows for one person to raise or lower the mast, though easily shouldered down by two people. Benny is offered by its original owner, built in France and purchased from Signature Yachts of Seattle, Washington. All original manuals and certificate of origin available. A custom trailer by Tuff Trailers of Lynden, Washington is included. The boat sits low on the trailer, making for an easy pull. A proven winner on the race course, sailing well with a crew of two, three, or four, but also excellent for couples overnight or weekend outings, with two 64 quarter berths, a v-berth for gear bags or small children. A truly fantastic design for a pocket cruiser/racer. Test sails and inspection available on Bartlett Lake, Scottsdale, Arizona. Contact owner, Brock Short, at 615-504-1669 or by email at janebshort@gmail.com.

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
