1999 Beneteau Oceanis 40 CC

This 1999 Beneteau Oceanis 40 CC is a 46-foot center-cockpit cruising sailboat built on a proven design by Groupe Finot. The fiberglass hull measures 18 feet 11 inches across the beam and is powered by a 54 hp Yanmar diesel engine, achieving a cruising speed of 5 knots with a maximum speed of 8 knots. The center-cockpit layout features a secure teak seating area with good protection and sightlines while sailing, and a sugar-scoop stern incorporates a swim platform and integrated ladder for water access. A substantial stainless davit system serves both as a dinghy crane and carries two outboard engines (4 hp and 15 hp) along with solar panels.

Below deck, the saloon is bright and spacious with excellent headroom, offering a large U-shaped seating arrangement and expandable dining table. The galley is linearly configured with generous workspace and storage suitable for extended passages. The full-beam owner's cabin aft features a walkaround berth, en-suite bathroom with separate shower, and abundant locker space. A forward guest cabin provides comfortable double berth accommodations with seating, wardrobe storage, and separate access to an additional head and shower.

Sail handling is straightforward with in-mast furling on the mainsail and roller furling on the genoa, making the yacht manageable for short-handed or solo sailing. The Yanmar engine has good access for routine maintenance. The yacht is well suited for coastal and offshore cruising, combining practical deck layout with comfortable interior volume for extended time at sea.
