Cruising World Boat of the Year Award 2007 – “Best Full-Sized Production Cruiser Category”
HIGHLIGHTS:
OVER $130,000 SPENT OVER THE LAST YEAR PREPPING TOPAZ FOR A TRIP TO THE ISLANDS AND MEDITERRANEAN!
It’s a treat for us to come across a yacht so meticulously updated or a couple so focused on preparing for some serious passage-making. Purchased in 2023 in Maine, they went over every feature, every system, and embarked on a plan to make her even better. The goal? Serious ocean passage making: the Caribbean, Europe and beyond. The latest systems, updated rig, new main, new standing rigging, new cockpit canvas, the best solar panels & power management, new dinghy/outboard and MANY other amazing upgrades and features. The vast list of updates goes far beyond just the major enhancements expressed in this highly detailed listing.
A touch of super yacht styling in an affordable package, this brilliant renovated 2008 Beneteau 49, TOPAZ, offers all the performance and accommodation of a much larger yacht in the sub-50’ category. To truly enjoy an off-shore passage, you need some mass underfoot. At around 30,000 to 35,000 pounds (loaded), an adventurous couple can travel fast, far and wide in comfort, style and safety – across oceans or around the world as desired.
Beneteau fine tunes the big boat feel and offers true blue water performance. She’s as easy to handle in a big blow as she is around the dock. Her spacious cockpit is easy to navigate and offers ample space for electronics at just the right locations. All sailing gear is at arm’s length. She enjoys blue water thoughtful touches like built-in life raft storage in the stern and high cockpit coamings for comfort and safety.
Her interior, by Italian firm Nauta Designs, famous for megayacht interiors, provides a layout below that is safe to navigate in spirited seas w/plenty of handholds from bow to stern. In this highly sought after three-stateroom layout, both fore and aft cabins are spacious and accommodating with abundant storage.
When off-watch during a passage, one crew can lounge tucked into an aft berth below the cockpit while the on-watch crew is just a few feet away, visually through the opening ports into the cockpit or just a tap on the floor away from the helm.
Her cockpit, rig, gear, and decks are laid out for a couple to manage easily - single-handed sailing is a breeze when the rest of your crew is off-watch. Oversized all-electric cockpit winches do all the work, making this big boat feel much smaller for a cruising couple in a big blow while maintaining the safety and comfort that this big yacht provides.

This is a big boat with a clean and uncluttered cabin top, easy-to-navigate wide side decks, and a huge comfortable cockpit. The long benches, large drop-down table leaves, twin wheels, all-new canvas, complete set of modern electronics, and ALL power primary and secondary winches make TOPAZ a pure joy to sail.
Her simple sloop sail plan is designed for easy management in choppy seas as well as when setting anchor. A huge dedicated sail/storage locker forward, right behind the large anchor/windlass locker helps you keep the boat neat and organized at all times. Shrouds come down to the deck inboard of the toe rail so navigating fore and aft along the deck is easy on both the low and high side even with an athletic heel.
TOPAZ is a powerful yacht, capable of handling some spritely ocean sea conditions but she's also set up to be easily and comfortably handled by a cruising couple. With electric winches (ALL of them), nearly all lines led aft to the cockpit, primary winches right next to both helm stations, these are the features that make her a joy to sail. Anchoring and docking is a breeze with the help of her bow thruster. Below the waterline, her spade rudder and bulb keel helps her back like a car into a snug slip when needed. New standing rigging, new sails, new mainsail furler, all equip you to head offshore right now.
Major electronics just updated in the fall of 2023 with the latest suite of gear from Garmin. Bonus duplication of main displays at both helm stations. Large MFD touch screen radar/chart plotters at helm and chart table. TOPAZ is so easy for a cruising couple to handle. Single-handed sailing is a breeze.
Traditional nav stations seem to be vanishing with modern yacht design. Not on TOPAZ. Her full-function station offers ample paneling for current and future electronics. She has a real chart table and easy access to systems and wiring. Helm electronics are perfectly situated for easy access on all points of sail.
Step below via gradual gently sloping companionway stairs to a spacious and rare two-cabin layout below. TOPAZ has a huge salon, full size nav station with plenty of room for all your passage making electronics. Her galley provides a ton of counter space, abundant storage, and large fridge/freezer space for extended passages. Sleeping cabins fore and aft are so spacious, either can be used as an 'owner' space. The forward owner’s stateroom, with the larger dedicated en-suite head, is perfect at anchor with ample opening ports for ventilation. In a seaway, her aft cabins are huge, safe and comfortable underway with plenty of useful storage, large lockers and opening ports for ventilation. Throughout the interior spaces, owners will realize the huge benefits of TOPAZ’s 14'-9" beam.
The daylight flooding the salon is enticing. The space is huge and comfortable for lounging or entertaining. TOPAZ has a satin cherry interior that presents as modern, sleek, yet sumptuous. Her forward facing nav station is part of the social space or a good station for your sous chef during gourmet meal prep. Every possible nook and cranny provides additional storage for long range cruising.
Too often, yacht designers neglect galley space in favor of other aspects of a yacht interior. Not so on TOPAZ. She has TONS of counter space, TONS of deep storage, deep and spacious fridge/freezers, and the galley is appropriately architecturally connected to the main salon. At the same time, chefs will find it easy to brace between the sink island and L-shaped galley space when preparing a meal in bouncy seas.
Spacious, broad, with high ceilings, TOPAZ has a huge owner's suite forward. Well-lit and ventilated with a large private head & shower, her queen-sized is easy for a couple to access on port and starboard. Large hanging lockers, drawers, nooks and crannies all provide abundant storage.
Yacht systems need to be cleanly configured, easily accessed, customizable, and reliable for serious passage making. Between the engine, genset, and solar panels, PIXIE DUST can spend weeks at sea covering all your electrical needs with ease.
Hull of hand-laid solid GRP bonded to a structural grid/hull liner of directional fiberglass/GRP for a strong, stiff, light composite. Vinylester hull barrier coat to resist osmotic blistering and zone-specific stitchmat laminates for specific increased strength optimization.
Cored GRP sandwich construction for stiffness, thermal and acoustic insulation and lighter weight. Solid fiberglass reinforcements in high load areas. Integral unidirectional GRP deck beams for added strength. Main bulkheads bonded 360° to the hull and deck for rigid torsional and compressive strength.
