Sloop Beaufort 14 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Beaufort 14 is a distinguished bluewater cruising yacht designed by the legendary French naval architect JeanJacques Herbulot and primarily constructed by the Etudes de Carènes shipyard in France. Produced between approximately 1974 and 1988, this model reflects Herbulot’s philosophy of creating robust, highvolume vessels capable of extended offshore passages. Often referred to by its metric length, the Beaufort 14 measures roughly 14.2 to 14.65 meters (approximately 47 to 48 feet) and is recognized for its characteristic heavydisplacement hull and "traditional" aesthetic. While often rigged as a ketch to manage sail area for shorthanded cruising, slooprigged variants were also produced to offer a simpler sail plan for modern coastal and bluewater use.
