Overview
LADY M, a 2000 Beneteau 50, is attractively priced at £109,000 and offers turn‑key bluewater cruising. Designed by Bruce Farr, this proven cruiser balances elegance and performance. With a sleek blue GRP hull, shot‑blasted and re‑coated in 2023, she’s ideal for Mediterranean adventures and long‑range liveaboard life.
Exterior Features
The vessel’s deck layout is designed for comfort and safety. Teak decks lead aft to a sugar‑scoop transom for easy boarding. An electric windlass, dual anchor rodes and robust mooring lines provide secure anchoring. Recently reupholstered cockpit cushions and full canvas protection enhance comfort while underway or at anchor.
Interior Features
Below decks you’ll find a spacious three‑cabin layout with two heads and a forward owner’s suite. The warm saloon finished in dark cherry surrounds a well‑appointed galley equipped with twin fridges, freezer, microwave, slow cooker, and abundant storage. Modern conveniences include Eberspacher heating (with remote), fans, USB/AC charging points and a 29‑inch Smart TV with Bluetooth audio.
