2009 Beneteau 49

This 2009 Beneteau 49 is a well-equipped offshore cruising sloop built for extended passages. With nearly 50 feet of length and a full-displacement hull, she offers solid seakeeping characteristics and cruising range. The boat runs a Yanmar 4JH4-HTE diesel engine with 750 hours, delivering reliable auxiliary power at cruising speeds around 7 knots. She carries 62 gallons of fuel and 1,173 square feet of sail area, with an in-mast furling mainsail for easy handling.

The interior follows a practical three-cabin, two-head layout designed for cruising comfort. The main salon is bright and open, with substantial storage integrated throughout for long voyages. The galley stands out with generous counter space, deep cabinets, and dual refrigeration, positioned to work efficiently both at anchor and in rough seas. The design connects the galley visually and functionally to the salon, creating a flowing living space.

Current equipment includes electric primary and secondary winches, full cockpit canvas with bimini and dodger, and a Raymarine instrumentation suite with depth, wind, and speed displays at the helm and navigation station. Navigation relies on VHF radio for communication. A Webasto diesel heating system was installed new in 2024, and recent additions include a bow thruster and new AGM start battery in 2025. This combination of proven systems and recent upgrades supports confident cruising in temperate waters.
