About the International 50 Moorings

Built by French yacht manufacturer Jeanneau starting in 1994, this Farr-designed charter boat represents a thoughtful balance between performance and livability. At nearly 50 feet overall with a generous 15.92-foot beam, the International 50 Moorings was specifically engineered for the demanding charter fleet environment where durability and ease of handling take precedence. The wing keel configuration reduces draft to just 6 feet while maintaining stability, making this yacht accessible to more cruising grounds and shallow anchorages. With 1,205 square feet of sail area driving 33,000 pounds of displacement, the boat offers respectable performance with a theoretical hull speed of 8.72 knots, though it's clearly optimized for comfortable cruising rather than racing. The masthead sloop rig keeps sail handling straightforward, essential for charter operations where crews of varying experience levels take the helm. Farr's design philosophy shines through in the boat's seaworthiness – the capsize screening formula of 1.99 and moderate comfort ratio of 28.72 suggest a yacht capable of offshore passages while remaining comfortable in typical cruising conditions. The 85-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters and pushing through calms during extended coastal cruising.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 18.82
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 194.23
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 28.72
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 1.99
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 8.72 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 2,407.90 pounds/inch
