2012 Beneteau 40

This 2012 Beneteau 40 is a three-cabin cruising sailboat built in fiberglass with a single Yanmar diesel engine producing 54 horsepower. The boat has been used exclusively in fresh water since launch and remains in solid condition. Recent work includes a new rig installation, with bottom paint scheduled. Key upgrades include a three-blade folding propeller, lithium house batteries with Bluetooth monitoring, a bow thruster, air conditioning, and a Webasto diesel heater. The sail plan comprises a roller-furling mainsail, roller-furling genoa, and furling cruising spinnaker—all manageable for single-handed sailing from the large twin-wheel cockpit where sail controls are positioned for easy reach.

The interior centers on a bright salon with large windows dressed in accordion-style and light-blocking coverings. Moabi hardwood cabinetry and ocean blue leather upholstery define the space. An L-shaped dinette converts to a sleeping berth, and a lowering table extends the functionality. The galley runs along the port side and includes a 12-volt marine refrigerator with freezer, two-burner gimballed stove, microwave, and double stainless steel sink. A navigation desk with control panel and radio suite sits nearby. The separate head features a shower cubicle, electric toilet, and generous storage.

Three cabins offer sleeping quarters. The forward master has a queen bed with upgraded memory foam, dual hanging lockers, a vanity, and under-bed storage. Two aft cabins provide additional berths with hull windows, memory foam mattresses, and hanging storage. All mattresses include custom Egyptian cotton sheets. The boat features two large fresh water tanks, a holding tank with macerator, and comprehensive electrical systems including a 2000-watt inverter and three-channel battery charger serving a lithium house bank and dedicated starter batteries.

The cockpit includes twin steering wheels, teak covering and seating, a folding table, large lazarettes, and a swim platform with stainless steel ladder. Navigation and safety equipment include a Raymarine chart plotter with speed and depth gauges, VHF radio, autopilot, and an included but uninstalled Raymarine radar. Deck gear comprises an electric windlass, anchor with chain and rode, and stainless steel stanchions with lifeline gates. Engine hours show 235. An alarm system monitors shore power, water intrusion, temperature, and entry.
