The Beneteau Capelan is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by André Bénéteau as a fishing boat, day sailer and pocket cruiser, and first built in 1972. The boat is named for the species of fish.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Production

The design was built by Beneteau in France, from 1972 to 1979, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7][8]

Design

The Capelan is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, one set of swept spreaders and aluminium spars with stainless steel wire standing rigging. The hull has a spooned and slightly raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 1,058 lb (480 kg) and carries 330 lb (150 kg) of ballast.[1][2][5][6]

The boat has a draft of 1.97 ft (0.60 m) with the standard keel.[1][2][5][6]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 15 hp (3 to 11 kW) outboard motor mounted in a stern well, for docking and maneuvering. An inboard motor of 5 to 7 hp (4 to 5 kW) was a factory option.[1][2][5][6]

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the small cabin.[6]
