The moderate displacement, generous sail area, and well-proportioned hull shape translate into a yacht that is both powerful and easily driven with spirited performance that doesn’t sacrifice the steady, reassuring motion demanded for passage making.On deck, the center cockpit configuration is a defining feature, offering security offshore and excellent visibility for the helmsman from the port side helm station. The cockpit itself is deep, well-protected, and designed for both passage making and entertaining. Wide teak side decks and solid construction further reinforce her offshore credentials, while thoughtful touches such as a generous aft deck and integrated swim platform enhance life at anchor. Rigged as a sloop allowing for a removable inner forestay (not included) and a self-tacking Lewmar track, a staysail (not included) can be added to the sail plan allowing the configuration to be shifted to a cutter/sloop. Designed with control lines running aft to the center cockpit and three powered winches, it is well set up for easy shorthanded sailing.This air conditioned four cabin version has one large owner cabin aft with ensuite head and separate shower, a watch cabin with separate head / shower, and two guest cabins forward with separate heads and a shared shower.FeaturesStanding rigging replaced (2026) Bottom painted (2025)Full cockpit canvas enclosure with new hard windscreen installed in (2021)Air conditioning 110v AC | 12v and 24v DC electrical systemsYanmar 160 hp diesel main with 12v and 24v alternators13.5 kW Onan generator24v bow thrusterCruising spinnaker Leisure Furl Boom Profurl electric furling genoa3 Electric winches Ice makerFull survey from December 2025 available for reviewWell balanced and lively, this Beneteau 57 is a powerful design that is a delight to sail, and even shorthanded is well mannered with a sail control configuration that allows both ease and comfort.

Accommodations
Sara Lynn has a beautiful dark navy hull, teak decks, toe rail, and cockpit, with an expansive, bright, and exceptionally well laid out interior, finished with alpi woodwork in fruit tree color matt varnish, parquet type matt-varnished floors, and padded ceilings. Beneteau’s collaboration with interior designer Franck Darnet resulted in a space that feels both refined and practical, with rich joinery, abundant natural light, and excellent ventilation. The salon offers generous seating and a welcoming atmosphere for entertaining or extended living aboard. The air-conditioned interior includes separate thermostats and controllers for the salon and each of the four private cabins; two guest cabins forward, a watch cabin off the starboard passageway, and full-beam aft owner’s cabin.
