50′ C

50' CThe 50′ C is available in three configurations including an open version for true simplicity, particularly in the tropics, with the displacement to carry a very respectful payload at still an amazing mile-eating pace.

The original boat was drawn for a couple to cruise Alaska and South America so one layout reflects those requirements.

It is available either with twin cockpits or a single aft cockpit. The aft cockpit version offers a double bunk in the cockpit as an option for tropical sailing. If kept simple, this boat can be put together for considerably less than any of its opposition, and will have brilliant performance levels, for example – Australia to Noumea in 72 hours.
