1998 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 40 CC

The Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 40 CC is a fiberglass sailing yacht built in 1998, powered by a single 56 hp Yanmar diesel engine. At 41 feet in length with a 13-foot beam, she offers a practical platform for extended cruising. The boat features a raised center cockpit design that provides excellent sightlines and accessible handling characteristics suitable for varied crew sizes.

A comprehensive refit completed in 2024 modernized the boat's core systems. The electrical infrastructure was completely rewired and fitted with a new off-grid power setup incorporating lithium iron batteries, a 3000W Victron inverter/charger, and solar panels. All seacocks were replaced with composite True Design units for improved corrosion resistance. The standing and running rigging were fully renewed, along with new ground tackle.

The layout centers on an elevated aft owner's cabin with an island bed, an uncommon arrangement in this size class. The raised center cockpit delivers both visibility and functional deck space. These design elements support comfortable long-term habitation and practical daylighting throughout the interior.

The boat reflects two years of careful ownership and systematic upgrades aimed at supporting independent cruising and self-sufficient onboard systems. The rigging, seacocks, electrical systems, and power infrastructure have all been refreshed to support reliable operation.
