The Beneteau Oceanis 50 was launched in 2007 to many plaudits for both its looks externally and its internal design style. Spacious, light and comfortable below and easy performance under sail (notably winning the cruising division of the Sydney Hobart race) she was an instant hit.
“Gryphon 3” was sold by us new to the current owner. We delivered her to the South of France and she has cruised the Western Med and Northern Africa. She appears to have been well maintained and is offered for sale in Gibraltar in “Ready to Go” condition.
