Fauroux 50

Fauroux 50 – One-off carbon, high-level safety and performance

Unique Fauroux 50, built in 2008 by Fauroux shipyard, a true one-off combining performance, safety, and exceptional build quality. This yacht was designed with intentionally oversized rigging, ensuring maximum reliability in offshore and racing sailing.

The sandwich glass/Airex infusion construction, combined with a carbon mast and boom, gives the boat rigidity, lightness, and remarkable performance. The hull was completely repainted two years ago, and maintenance is diligently followed with rigorous annual preventive maintenance.

The sail plan is particularly comprehensive and performance-oriented: large racing sail, two race spinnakers (a very recent one ~15 hours old, another about a year old), code 0, and asymmetrical spinnaker. The cruising mainsail can be added, only missing due to the owner’s time constraints.

The deck equipment is top-of-the-line: electric winch, other manual racing winches, carbon guardrails, carbon passerelle, cockpit table in carbon, two large rear lockers, secure and ergonomic cockpit. The awning at anchor provides real comfort for cruising.

Navigation is handled by modern electronics with a B&G H5000 autopilot, ensuring precision and reliability. The standing rigging, headstay (revised three years ago), and the watertightness of the forward portholes (redone this year) demonstrate careful technical follow-up.

Inside, the boat offers generous volumes, refined finishing, and remarkable modularity, with a functional chart table, L-shaped kitchen, bright saloon, and comfortable cabins. The plexiglass was replaced five years ago.

A rare Fauroux 50 on the market, extremely sound, safe, and high-performance, intended for a demanding owner seeking a yacht with character, equally at ease in long-distance cruising and sporting navigation.
