This 2007 Beneteau is a gem and so easy to handle. With 4 electric winches, an In-Mast furling Mainsail, Roller Furling Genoa and bow thruster, it can be handled by just 2 folks as it has been for the last 19 years by a couple now in their 80's. It's also been a very successful racing boat in the cruising division winning the Governor's Cup 3 times as well as boat of the year. A brand-new 2026 Mainsail, a multi-weighted roller furling Genoa, asymmetrical spinnaker with sock, and forester whisker pole awaits the new owners.
If cruising is your appeal, it has it all with 3 queen sized berths, a table that converts into 2 additional berth's, 2 heads, a generator, air conditioning and heat. A 115hp Yanmar engine, larger than the standard 75hp runs the boat easily at 8 knots even in strong winds and waves. Electronics are up to date with a new chart plotter. Also, 100' of new anchor chain allows you to sleep soundly at night. A 10' hard bottom dinghy was refurbished this summer and makes a great tender.
The boat has been professionally maintained, on the hard 6 months every winter, bottom painted and waxed every year. The goat has been exclusively sailed in the Chesapeake Bay. With a shoal draft of 5'9" and a mast height of 63', you can go nearly anywhere including the ICW. You'll love this boat whether to race, cruise, or function as a live-aboard, it has it all!
