About this yacht
Centre-Cockpit Construction and Deck Finish
The 2023 Bluewater 56 is a fiberglass centre-cockpit monohull with a 56.33-foot length overall, a 16.17-foot beam and a 7.33-foot minimum draft. The hull carries a black Awlgrip finish, while the toe rail is finished in Awlwood varnish.
The structure incorporates Twaron aramid reinforcement. A half skeg-hung rudder configuration, Jefa direct-drive steering and a Bullflex coupling form part of the yacht’s steering and drivetrain arrangement.
A step-down transom provides access at the stern, and a full cockpit enclosure extends protection around the cockpit. Simpson Lawrence S300 electric davits, a Maxwell windlass and an oversized stainless-steel Ultra anchor complete the deck equipment.
Rig and Sail Handling
The 2023 Bluewater 56 carries Selden synchronized electric furling for the in-mast mainsail and headsails, together with electric winches. A custom M Yachts stainless-steel bowsprit forms part of the foredeck arrangement.
The Doyle Hydranet tri-radial sail inventory includes a vertically battened mainsail, genoa and staysail. The sail plan also includes asymmetric-sail capability.
Interior Layout and Galley
The interior has three cabins and two bathrooms, with white-oak joinery and Ultraleather upholstery. The third cabin incorporates a double pull-out berth and a stainless-steel plate arranged as a workbench.
The galley combines Vitrifrigo drawer refrigeration and freezer storage with a Force 10 five-burner stove, a combination microwave, air fryer and convection oven, and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.
Electrical, Climate and Navigation Systems
A 1,600Ah lithium house bank works with dual Mastervolt 4,500W inverters, each paired with a 200A charger. A 1,000W solar array with Victron MPPT equipment contributes to the electrical installation.
The CruisAir climate system provides three-zone reverse-cycle air conditioning through a variable-speed seawater pump. A Spectra Cape Horn 380 watermaker, Cablemaster system and Arid Bilge system are installed aboard.
The helm is equipped with Garmin offshore electronics, and a Side-Power bow thruster assists close-quarters manoeuvring. Coppercoat bottom paint forms the yacht’s underwater finish.
