Beneteau 50

Discover this beautiful Beneteau 49, carefully built in Marion, South Carolina, USA. Its history is rich with maritime adventures: its first owner sailed from Charleston to the US Virgin Islands, using the seasons to keep it in Varadero between April and November. In 2021, the second owner took over, making numerous improvements and completing an Atlantic crossing with the ARC. Summer 2021 and 2022, this sailboat explored the enchanting waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Today, it is moored at Port Balis, just 30 minutes from the vibrant heart of Barcelona, Spain.

### State-of-the-art Electronics
Equipped for modern navigation, this Beneteau 49 features a Raymarine Smart Pilot ST6002 autopilot, a recent Raymarine 700 class B AIS (2021), and a main display Axiom 12 mounted on the steering wheel. A second Raymarine E80 screen is on the chart table, complemented by a Raymarine radar GPS. Communication is ensured via a Skymate satellite phone, a fixed ICOM IC-M422 VHF, and a portable ICOM IC-M25 VHF (2021). Raymarine ST60 instruments provide accurate data on speed, wind direction, and navigation, while a SONY audio system with speakers in the saloon and cockpit promises pleasant moments on board. The battery system is powerful, with four AGM batteries of 800 amps installed in 2021.

### Power and Electrical Autonomy
The yacht is equipped with a shore power inlet and an 8 kW Fischer Panda Mini diesel generator (5600 operating hours). An Xantrex Prowatt 3000 inverter, two Xantrex Tc40 battery chargers (80 amps), and two Axitec solar panels ensure energy independence. A Victor Energy NT 709 autotransformer (2021) allows seamless switching between 220V and 110V.

### Deck Equipment and Safety
Safety is a priority with a Viking liferaft for 6 people, an RLS, pyrotechnics, a Life Ring, 4 automatic life jackets with spare bottles, smoke and CO2 detectors, and 3 fire extinguishers. On deck, you will find two Goiot rudders, two Lewmar 65 two-speed winches, an electric Lewmar 46 winch on port side, and a manual winch on starboard. The trailermounts facilitate handling the Caribe dinghy of 12 feet (3.7 m) from 2012, equipped with a Honda 4-stroke 7.5 hp engine. For comfort and leisure, the deck features a Magma gas barbecue, a cockpit table with cushions, a Bimini roof, a cover, several wings, and mooring lines. The anchoring system is robust with a 25 kg Delta anchor, galvanized chains, and a Lewmar V4 windlass.

### Interior Comfort and Equipment
Inside, the Cruisair AC provides heating, cooling, and dehumidification. Comfort is enhanced by two electric toilets, a Lewmar bow thruster with a renewed control in 2021, and several automatic and manual bilge pumps. The waste tanks are two 100-liter tanks, with a pressurized water system updated in 2022. The kitchen has a 42-liter water heater, a saltwater pump, a Vitifrigo 130-liter refrigerator with an integrated freezer, a Vitifrigo 100-liter freezer, and a 3-burner gas stove with oven. Stainless steel sinks and custom furniture complete this welcoming space.
