This well-maintained 1987 Beneteau 32s5 represents an excellent opportunity for sailors seeking a capable and comfortable cruiser with proven offshore capabilities. Designed by Phillip Stark and built by the renowned Beneteau yard, this 9.91m sloop offers an ideal combination of performance and cruising comfort, currently lying on Scotland's West Coast awaiting her next owner.
The yacht benefits from a modern rig configuration with Z Spars aluminium mast (2006) and stainless-steel standing rigging, paired with a good sail inventory including a 2015 Owen mainsail with lazy jacks and slab reefing, plus furling headsail and multiple genoas. Power comes from a reliable Yanmar 3YM20 20hp diesel engine, offering a cruising speed of 5 knots with a maximum of 6.5 knots, making her well-suited for both coastal cruising and longer passages.
Accommodation is particularly generous for a yacht of this size, offering six berths across three cabins with excellent 1.95m headroom throughout. The well-appointed interior features a practical galley with two-burner gas cooker and oven, pressurised hot water system, and a manual head with holding tank. The spacious saloon and comfortable cabins make her ideal for family cruising or extended voyages.
Navigation equipment is comprehensive with VHF DSC radio, GPS, chart plotter, autopilot and notably an AIS receiver for enhanced safety. The deck layout is well-organised with two halyard winches, two sheet winches, and an electric Lewmar windlass for easy anchoring. Ground tackle is substantial with three anchors including CQR with 30m chain, complemented by an Avon dinghy with 2hp Yamaha outboard.
Safety features include both manual and electric bilge pumps, LPG and carbon monoxide detectors, liferaft, and emergency steering. The yacht's GRP construction with fin keel provides excellent sailing performance and stability, while her moderate 1.83m draft allows access to most cruising grounds.
This Beneteau 32s5 presents in good condition with recent upgrades including the 2006 rig and 2015 mainsail. While some systems may benefit from updating, she offers a solid foundation for immediate cruising at a competitive price point. Her combination of space, performance and equipment makes her particularly suitable for Scottish waters and beyond.
