Sense 50 - new sailing concept by Beneteau

Give full expression to all your senses, beginning with the pleasure of living on board a contemporary yacht with a totally innovative design. One does not need to be a great sailor to enjoy the happiness of life at sea and discover new horizons, sense is moving the boundaries of pleasure. From stem to stern, you will be surprised by the extremely well thought-out organisation of your life aboard with a sense of well-being, simplicity and beauty.

Blending simplicity with refinement
Sense 50's hull shape is an original design which reduces heeling angles without affecting performance. By applying the latest trends in contemporary design to each of its living spaces, both below and above deck, this new yacht lets you indulge in the true pleasures of yachting. Its low cockpit provides easy and spontaneous access to the sea astern and the uniquely inviting living quarters forward. The pure lines of the deck and coachroof are both sleek and reassuring.

Adaptable layouts
At the forward end of the boat the sleeping areas are insulated from cockpit and quay-side noises. A layout that also improves ventilation at anchor. The interiors, bathed in light, encourage well-being. Depending on the time of the day, the sailing conditions or the composition of the crew, the cockpit and some internal spaces can adapt to offer new layouts and functions to live aboard in whatever way you want.

Easy maintenance
The many and generous openings let in lots of light and open space from the cockpit to the office. The links between each living area give you plenty of room to breathe. Bringing together under the cockpit all of the systems, machines and stowage areas makes maintenance easy. This well laid-out technical zone is accessible by real steps and can house a washing machine and even an additional berth.

The Sense concept
Sense is organised around three major living areas. Aft - outside, life stretches out quite logically between the shore, the uncluttered
helm position and the spacious cockpit designed like a terrace. Beneath this space lies ample stowage and all of the machinery.
Amidships, the living area is linked in novel ways to the outside. Forward, the peaceful area accommodates the bedrooms and bathrooms.
