The contours and the wavy design of Beneteau Oceanis 50 give a sense of serenity and security when floating the waters. The house of the boat is long and low, marked by large windows and several smaller ports. The mainsheet is on an arch that gets it out of the cockpit and makes a great place to attach a bimini. This monohull has a nav station with a seat and chart table with fiddles to keep your pencils in place. The seat for the nav station wraps around into the saloon which is pleasantly conventional, with U-shaped settee to port with folding table and two hassocks for added seating, and a settee with armrests to starboard. The headroom is magnificent and adds to the sense of openness.
