The Beneteau 50 is a 15.5-meter masthead sloop designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Beneteau between 1995 and 2004, known for balancing performance with cruising comfort. This 13,000 kg displacement monohull, with a 4.5-meter beam and 2.3-meter draft, was also marketed under names like The Moorings 503, 504, and 505, and was available with shoal draft options. Its design, featuring a fin with bulb and spade rudder, provides a hull speed exceeding nine knots and a comfort ratio of 26.35, indicating stability for offshore passages.
