What this video covers
The Beneteau Sense 50 features a design focused on luxury and comfort, characterised by a lowered cockpit floor, a wide beam, and an apartment-style interior with seven feet of headroom.▶ 4:47 The layout places machinery, including the engine and generator, in the aft section to isolate noise and odours from the living quarters.▶ 1:27 Despite these amenities, the vessel faces criticism for its sailing performance, specifically a lack of feel, poor windward pointing ability, and a tendency to wander.▶ 2:54 The model incorporates complex, high-tech systems such as the computer-controlled Dock and Go rotating saildrive and extensive electrical components like automated tables and blinds.▶ 3:39 Many owners report reliability issues with these ageing systems, leading some to remove the Dock and Go setup in favour of standard propulsion.▶ 7:03 With a balsa-cored hull and significant reliance on proprietary electronics, the vessel presents high maintenance risks and potential depreciation concerns for buyers of 13-to-15-year-old units priced between $300,000 and $431,000.▶ 8:35
