2017 Beneteau Oceanis 38

This 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 38 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built for cruising comfort and ease of handling. The boat features a deep 6'9" keel suited to California waters, paired with a spacious cockpit layout that benefits from a mainsheet arch. Single-handed sailing is supported by an in-mast furling mainsail, self-tacking jib, bow thruster, and electric windlass.

The accommodation includes a forward master cabin with a double berth and a separate shower stall. The galley is well equipped with a Vitrifrigo refrigerator/freezer, gimbaled stainless steel oven with two-burner stove, and microwave. A Webasto heating system runs throughout the boat for cold-weather sailing. The forward cabin bulkhead can be removed to open up the interior space.

The electrical system centers on a Raymarine B&G package with wind, depth, and speed instruments, chartplotter, autopilot, and VHF radio. Lithium ion batteries installed in 2022 support 600 watts of solar panels managed by a Victron charger. The boat has a cruising speed of 6 knots and maximum speed of 7.1 knots under sail.
