Hull

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

Interior

The boat is equipped with 757.0 liter fresh water capacity.

Rig

The Privilège 51 is equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a gennaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Keel

Bilge keel

The Privilège 51 is equipped with a bilge keel. A bilge keel is a double keel, which allows the boat to be beached. Bilge keels are the most popular keel for tidal waters.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.35 - 1.45 meter (4.43 - 4.73 ft) dependent on the load.

Engine

Privilège 51 may be equipped with dual inboard Volvo Penta MD22 diesel engines at 50 hp (37 kW).

The fuel tank has a capacity of 757.0 liters (199 US gallons, 166 imperial gallons).
