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.
Production
The design was built by Beneteau in France, from 1972 to 1979, but it is now out of production.
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.
The boat has a draft of 1.97 ft (0.60 m) with the standard keel.
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.
The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the small cabin.
