1998 Beneteau 381

This 1998 Beneteau 381 is a 38-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat with a beam of nearly 13 feet. Powered by a 42-horsepower Westerbeke diesel engine, the boat has been used exclusively in freshwater and carries approximately 250 engine hours. The relatively low use is evident throughout the interior, which benefits from excellent headroom suitable for taller crew members.

The layout includes two cabins and one head, with a spacious V-berth featuring extra standing room and a vanity with pressure water. Interior amenities include dual air conditioning and heating, refrigeration, a battery charger, and an Autohelm 6000+ autopilot. On deck, the boat is fitted with a large bimini top, manual windlass, and in-mast furling mainsail. The 50-foot mast height allows passage under bridges on inland waterways.

This boat performs well under sail and functions equally as a comfortable weekend cabin. The freshwater-only history distinguishes it from similar saltwater examples and reflects well on its condition and longevity.
