Beneteau Blue II

Beneteau Blue II is a 34 ′ 1 ″ / 10.4 m catamaran sailboat designed by Philippe Briand and built by Beneteau starting in 1985.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Blue 2 Volume and excitement!

Contrary to the poor reputation it attracted, the Blue 2 is rather fast and exciting to helm.

Article published on 01/10/2015

By Emmanuel van Deth

published in n°144 nov. / dec.

A short career for this catamaran which was however born under the best auspices...but which remains a comfortable, rather fun boat under sail, even though second-hand you will without a doubt have to plan on a bit of DIY.

We will keep you posted on new articles on this subject.

We can’t say that this catamaran’s career didn’t get off to a good start...designed by a renowned architect, Philippe Briand, big launch with a photo shoot from a helicopter and an enormous ‘Beneteau Blue 2’ written on the trampoline...however: three years’ production later, the big company from the Vendee region of France had only sold 48 boats. Curtain! Beneteau’s first – and last for the moment – multihull wasn’t the success they had expected. The builder has made up for this since then, because it is now the owner of Lagoon, the world number one in the sector. So, where was the problem? Without a doubt in the positioning of the builder, a monohull specialist. Not necessarily confident in its new boat on two hulls, Beneteau took care to fill the masts with foam, fearing a complete capsize onto the roof - we might as well say this straight away, even by doing it deliberately, it’s very hard to succeed in this maneuver! Then this famous Blue 2 was quickly overtaken by a poor reputation, concerning its seakeeping qualities. Today, looking back 30 years, we can assert that this portrait reflects above all the opinion of skippers who had up until then been faithful to monohulls. Yes, a catamaran weighing hardly three tonnes will experience a few difficulties when sailing to windward in a force 7, whilst a monohull, 2 tonnes heavier, will behave much better...

The first (and only) catamaran from Beneteau can prove to be a good second-hand deal. A good boat for family cruising.

Good downwind

What the detractors of the time had forgotten, was that a Blue 2 well-canvassed in a good breeze can touch over 18 knots downwind...whilst all the monohulls from earlier have a top speed of 8. In reality, the Blue 2 has no cause to be envious of Fountaine-Pajot’s Louisiane: a bit lighter and with more sail, it even offers superior potential in light airs. But it suffers from its long keels to windward – pivoting centreboards for the Fountaine-Pajot -, slams easily in the waves, because of its excessively low bridgedeck (it’s noisy too!) and pitches generously, through lack of sufficient volume in the ends... So it’s true, the Blue 2 isn’t a boat for sailing to windward. But no cruising catamaran excels in this area... However an Atlantic crossing in the trade winds remains within its capabilities. And for the return trip? Dismantle it and pack it into a 40-foot container – it fits! Because assembling the two hulls and the nacelle using aluminum tubes was planned from the boat’s design stage. As for the engines, the builder chose two little 9hp diesels, well centered and driving propeller shafts. All that remains is the design: the slim hulls resort to discreet longitudinal steps, the bows are almost vertical and the rounded roof is trying to be futuristic. Rather elegant lines which have aged well. On the other hand, we can’t say the same about the original décor. Compare a revamped model with another one in its original condition – you will ...

Broker's Comments

Twin hulls, twin helms, twin engines and double the space. This is still a very good looking catamaran from the board of Philipe Briand and would suit somebody with a sense of adventure for exploring all those shallow esturies and lagoons of the world that most yachts never see.
