The Beneteau 57 is a 17.8-meter fractional sloop designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Beneteau from 2002 to the present. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, a 4.9-meter beam, a 2.6-meter draft (with a 2.1-meter shallow draft option), and displaces 22,055 kg. Aboard *Vanishing Point*, Chris and Karmen sailed the Beneteau 57 from Brisbane, Australia, to Ensenada, Mexico, via cargo ship, navigating complex international paperwork and Marshall Islands flagging to avoid U.S. import tariffs.33:37 They found the Beneteau 57's interior volume and cockpit layout better suited their needs for living space and comfort compared to an Oyster 53, despite the Oyster's heavier construction. *Vanishing Point* underwent a refit at Baja Naval in Ensenada, where topside paint was applied, but a rudder bushing replacement was deferred due to travel lift limitations, and a custom bow pulpit's bobstay eye bolt required a new backing plate.3:25 The crew replaced a failed windlass with a 1500-watt Lofrans Tigres unit, installing new wiring and a control box in the forward head.20:23 During a passage to Catalina Island, an electric headsail furler temporarily stopped responding when furled under load, but resumed operation after the sail was unloaded.5:03 While cruising to Catalina, the interior glass panel of the galley stove shattered, and a loose VHF antenna at the masthead was noted for future repair.7:32 The crew also tested new ground tackle in Cat Harbor, anchoring in 68 feet of water.7:45
