The New Flyer 850 Sun Deck

04 February 2009

Flyer 850 Sun Deck:


Increased Power for the Flyer Sun Deck Range The success enjoyed by the Flyer 500, 550, 650 and 750 Sun Deck has encouraged Beneteau to extend the range and offer an 8.50 metre model.

The Flyer 850 Sun Deck has been developed using the concept of the BENETEAU Research Department’s patented Air-Step hull, bringing:

Cleaner and faster acceleration. Reduced consumption. Better sea-keeping.
The hull and deck lines themselves originate from the drawing board of the Italian designer Pierangelo Andréani.
These fluid, stretched lines, enhanced by contemporary graphics, give this new boat an undeniably sporty character.

The Deck:

For those unforgettable sailing moments, the cockpit offers a proper saloon, a wide comfortable leaning post for driving and an enormous sunbathing platform on the Sun Deck.

Interior Layout: Original Configuration optimising Space

The arrangement and use of interior areas and volumes of space introduce a totally unique layout for these 8-metre open boats. Indeed, as well as the separate head compartment, this Day Cruiser is the only one that has 2 cabins!

A generously sized separate aft cabin (extremely light due to the large side porthole) contains two berths. More in the classic style, the saloon converts to a double berth.
