2001 Beneteau Oceanis 461

This 2001 Beneteau Oceanis 461 is a 46-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built to the Bruce design, known for solid construction and capable offshore performance. The boat features a three-cabin, two-head layout with shoal draft (5'9") and standing headroom throughout. A 63-horsepower Westerbeke diesel engine provides auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of 7.5 knots.

The sails and rigging reflect systematic updates over the past decade. The standing rigging was replaced in 2017, the in-mast furling mainsail in 2015, and the furling headsails upgraded in 2016 and 2017. The boat carries an asymmetrical spinnaker with sock and a whisker pole for light-air sailing. Additional propulsion features include a bow thruster for maneuvering.

Recent mechanical work includes new rudder and cutlass bearings installed in 2021, and through-hull fittings changed in 2023. The master mattress was replaced in 2020. Climate control via air conditioning was added in 2017. The boat is outfitted with LED lighting throughout and includes AIS send-and-receive capability for navigation and communication. Dinghy davits with a solar arch were installed in 2022.
