Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 24

CoastalBluewater

2.04 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.04

119 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 119

EasygoingPowered-up

21.4 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

TenderStiff

35% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

What the fleet has seen

The Beneteau Oceanis 54, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Beneteau Oceanis 54, also known as the BENETEAU 54, is a fractional sloop designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Beneteau since 2008. It measures 16.7 meters LOA with a 4.9-meter beam and a 2.3-meter draft, displacing 14,321 kg. The model is offered with a fin keel with bulb, and a shoal keel option is available, reducing the draft to 5.92 feet. Aboard *Sailing Sunday*, a 54-foot Beneteau was observed dragging anchor in the Balearic Islands during a squall, prompting the crew of *Sunday* to donate a 30-kg anchor, noting the Beneteau's 25-kg anchor was undersized for its displacement.9:52
