Design

The Beniguet is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 838 lb (380 kg) and carries 287 lb (130 kg) of ballast.^[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 1.64 ft (0.50 m) with the standard keel, allowing operation in shallow water, or ground transportation on a trailer.^[1][2]

When new, the boat could be factory optionally equipped with a diesel inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.^[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the cabin.^[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.02 kn (9.30 km/h).^[2]
