Bebot

Design 2392 CNC51

This design is unique. A fiberglass production yacht, the boat is designed to rest on the bottom upright and evenly when the tide goes out. At 51 overall, she only draws 2-9" with the centerboard and rudder retracted. She was originally meant for cruising on the Seine River in France but will do well in any shallow water cruising ground. I like the small steering station in the pilothouse for inclement weather.

The boat was introduced in 1981. They were built by Constructions Nautiques Cannoises of Cannes, France.

Here are the plans.


I think the folding rudder is an interesting bit of engineering.


And a few interior images.
