Survey watch points

Beam, draft, and air-draft publications disagree

high risk · unresolved · dimensions

Current Galeon US page/2025 PDF publish 14'5" beam, 4'6" max draft, and 22'6" mast-light height; 2021 Galeon PDF, BoatTEST 2019, and YachtBuyer publish conflicting beam, draft, and height figures. Keep unresolved.

Opened Galeon and third-party sources do not share one beam, draft, or air-draft package for the 500 FLY.

Current US manufacturer materials (galeon-500-fly-model-page, galeon-500-fly-spec-sheet-2025) and BoatTEST's 2024 redesigned report (boattest-galeon-500-fly-2024) publish 14'5" / 4.42 m beam, 4'6" / 1.4 m maximum draft, 22'6" / 6.9 m height including mast light, and 49,053 lb dry weight.

The still-public 2021 Galeon PDF (galeon-500-fly-spec-sheet-2021) and BoatTEST 2019 test (boattest-galeon-500-fly-2019) instead publish 14'8" / 4.46 m beam and 50,155 lb dry weight, with draft 55"/1.4 m (2021 PDF) versus 3'3"/1 m (BoatTEST 2019). YachtBuyer (yachtbuyer-galeon-500-fly) repeats the 4.46 m / 1 m package and adds non-matching height datums.

Canonical research keeps current manufacturer strip values and records these disagreements in conflicting_fields. Verify the hull's publication set before clearance or berth planning.

Confirm which manufacturer publication generation applies to the surveyed hull before using beam or draft for berth planning.
Do not treat YachtBuyer height-above-waterline or transport height as the same datum as Galeon height including mast light.
Do not average 1.0 m and 1.4 m draft figures or 14'5" and 14'8" beam figures.
