Verdict
A practical 50-foot classic schooner-style sailboat suited to group outings rather than spirited cruising. Its refit and large guest capacity make it attractive for events, while performance and livability are best viewed through the lens of day-charter use, not high-performance sailing.
Pros
- +Refitted in 2024
- +50 ft length with 3 cabins
- +Large onboard capacity for 16 guests
- +Suitable for events and group sailing
- +110 hp engine adds auxiliary power
Cons
- −Older 1982 hull design
- −Limited verified interior detail
- −Only 1 bathroom listed
- −Performance likely modest versus modern yachts
- −Guest capacity is high relative to cabins
The Goelette de 50 pieds is a 15.25 m sailboat from 1982 that has been refitted in 2024, with a layout aimed at social sailing and charter use rather than private cruising comfort. The published listing shows 3 cabins, 5 berths, 1 bathroom, and space for up to 16 people, which is a strong fit for events but not especially generous for overnight privacy.
On the water, this is best read as a traditional cruising platform with a 110 hp engine and the handling expectations of an older 50-footer. Public information on the exact rig and sail plan is limited, so a precise performance assessment is not possible; however, the available specs suggest a boat designed more for stable, manageable sailing than for modern high-speed passage making.
Comfort and livability are acceptable for day use, especially after the recent refit, but the cabin count and head count imply that space will feel shared rather than spacious. Value is strongest if the buyer or charterer wants a versatile group boat for seminars, celebrations, or introductory sailing, and weaker if the goal is private cruising or up-to-date performance-focused sailing.
