1999 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 461

The 1999 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 461 is a 46-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built for extended cruising and comfortable liveaboard use. This two-cabin, two-head design provides distinct sleeping quarters with a master stateroom featuring a queen berth and ensuite head, plus an aft cabin with a king berth. The main salon seats six to eight and includes a secondary lounging area at the nav station. A full galley with a four-burner gimbal stove, convection microwave, and refrigeration supports serious cooking underway or at anchor.

The boat's systems reflect substantial recent investment. The Westerbeke 63-horsepower diesel engine has approximately 1,550 hours and received a new heat exchanger in 2023. A Renogy solar array—330-watt and 175-watt panels totaling 1,020 watts—powers a 680-ampere-hour lithium battery bank through a Rover 60-amp MPPT controller. A Sea Water Pro watermaker and Starlink satellite internet system are installed. Additional upgrades through 2025 include a Vetus SISCO throttle system, new throttle control cables, replacement main halyard, and new anchor washdown pump.

Deck equipment and safety gear are comprehensive. The rig includes new Selden Furlex furling gear, fresh Precision Sails from 2024, all new sheets and halyards, and standing rigging inspected in 2022. Dual Lewmar power self-tailing winches and single-line reefing support efficient handling. Navigation is supported by dual Garmin chartplotters, HD radar, autopilot, VHF with fog horn and PA, and AIS. A Magma propane grill, LED lighting throughout, new dodger and bimini, and a Highfield 290CL aluminum dinghy with davit system complete the equipment package.

The transmission, shaft seal, cutlass bearing, and rudder were all serviced or replaced in 2023. New stainless steel faucets in heads and galley, fresh electric heads with Jabsco quiet flush, and an upgraded 10,000-BTU air-conditioning and heating unit support comfort at sea. Safety equipment includes a four-person life raft, EPIRB, ditch bag, PFDs, overboard rescue system, and dual bilge pumps with high-level alarm.
