Designed by the acclaimed French naval architecture firm Berret Racoupeau and built by Beneteau starting in 2010, this 50-footer represents a well-balanced approach to performance cruising. The Moorings 505 was specifically developed for charter operations, which speaks to its emphasis on reliability, ease of handling, and comfortable accommodations. The hull configuration features a modern fin keel with bulb and spade rudder arrangement, optimizing both performance and stability. With a displacement of 27,954 pounds and 9,500 pounds of ballast, the design strikes a favorable balance between seaworthiness and sailing performance. The fractional sloop rig with 1,186 square feet of sail area provides excellent handling characteristics while maintaining good light-air performance. Her moderate comfort ratio of 24.07 indicates a design that leans toward performance without sacrificing livability, making her well-suited for both coastal cruising and offshore passages. The capsize screening formula of 2.09 suggests good stability for ocean sailing, while the SA/displacement ratio of 20.69 promises respectable performance in varying wind conditions. The 110-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters and motoring in calm conditions, essential qualities for a versatile cruising yacht.
