Beniguet
Designed by François Vivier
Beniguet is a 5.85 m trailerable classic cabin yacht with a 2.10 m beam, usable as a pocket cruiser or a dayboat. The cabin has two quarter berths and a child-size berth forward, and the cockpit is two meters long.
The steel centerboard pivots under the cockpit, so it does not obstruct the cabin, and about half of her roughly 170 kg of ballast sits in it. The outboard lives in a well in line with the rudder. She is clinker built in plywood and epoxy, with a watertight, self-draining cockpit. She can only be built with full-size patterns or a CNC-cut plywood kit, and the designer recommends the kit because of the number of plywood panels.
What building a Beniguet actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
