The Seven Seas or the Western Isles?
Between cruiser-racer and motor-sailor, here is the Beneteau alternative, Idylle 11.50.
Designed by Jean Berret with lines close to that of First 35, the Idylle 11.50 is a fast sailor. The long keel and important sail area (more than 69 sqm) make for a lively boat; stiff and very efficient upwind.
No breeze left? The 50 hp diesel, perfectly insulated gives her a good speed when needed.

Construction and Mechanical
Construction
Beneteau Idylle 11.50 built as Beneteau's cruiser offering to compliment the successful performance orientated First range the Idylle range was from the same designer and loosely based around the same hull shape. A development of the First 35 the Idylle 11.50 has been designed with more rigorous cruising sailing in mind with Beneteau's design leaning towards cruiser-racer and motor-sailor with features include a more moderate keel and skeg hung rudder. Another feature of the Idylle 11.50, is the full length moulded shaft log protecting the propeller shaft aft to the propeller.

Below the water the hull has been subject to a full preventative epoxy osmosis treatment in 2001, the hull is currently finished with a red antifouling.
The deck is formed with a pronounced raised coachroof running aft to a fixed windscreen/cockpit offering shelter to the cockpit area.
The fittings and equipment of the Idylle 11.50 do credit to Beneteau. Two pairs of spreader give good mast control, the headsail winches are three-speed. The cockpit with teak slats and grating sports a beautiful pedestal steering wheel, leather sheathed, with compass.
On the foredeck a twin roller with anchor chain self stows into the locker with plenty of additional space provided for the storage of fenders and general equipment.
Stainless steel guardwires run the full length of the boat providing crew members with some security outboard while stout grabrails and fitted on the coachroof inboard.
A fixed windscreen at the aft end of the coachroof provides permanent protection for the companionway with a neat sprayhood fitting on top of the screen. The sprayhood has been constructed with a stainless steel frame incorporating a grab rail at the at end.
A full cockpit tent is aboard and connects to the sprayhood with a removable, folding aft frame rail; the tent provides full protection for the cockpit and creates an additional living space in poor weather.
Moulded coamings run down either side of the cockpit with the primary winches mounted port and starboard.
