Société d'Études de Carènes Beaufort 16 used

Built by a primary Breton shipyard, this 1975 Société d'Études de Carènes Beaufort 16 stands as a testament to robust construction and classic naval architecture. Measuring 15.85m overall with a 15.6m length, the vessel is engineered with a cold-molded marine plywood hull, reinforced with external fiberglass and epoxy resin, ensuring a perfectly watertight structure. This used boat is currently lying in Italy and features a comprehensive sail inventory, including a mainsail with lazy jack, a roller-furling genoa, a removable inner forestay for the staysail, and a gennaker with a sock. The deck layout is defined by spacious teak surfacing, maintained in excellent condition. Practical features include a stern platform equipped with a gangway and swim ladder, alongside an efficient Max Prop 3-blade feathering propeller. Having been under single-owner care, the yacht retains a high standard of upkeep, with the mizzen mast having been removed to optimize the deck configuration. Inside, the accommodation comprises 4 well-proportioned cabins and 2 heads, providing ample space for extended stays on board. The interior is noted for its brightness and exceptional external visibility, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the living areas. This vessel is ideal for sailors who prioritize structural integrity and long-range stability. The proven performance of the Beaufort 16 makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, large-volume cruiser with historic craftsmanship. The boat is offered at 43.000 EUR with VAT paid, and is currently available for viewing in Italy.
