Bénéteau Oceanis 46.1 (zeilboot) - verkoop

Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 | AZKENEANAZKENEAN is an exceptionally well-equipped and privately owned Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 configured specifically for offshore cruising and extended liveaboard use.

Unlike many Oceanis 46.1 examples configured primarily for charter service, this yacht benefits from the highly desirable 3-cabin owner’s layout together with a remarkable inventory of cruising upgrades including Starlink Maritime, Iridium GO!, lithium battery system, solar arch with rigid solar panels, Predict, Wind Data, Hub, Rainman watermaker and a comprehensive B&G electronics suite.

A major highlight is the professionally specified 2023 Selden rig conversion, undertaken as a deliberate bluewater cruising and performance upgrade rather than as the result of any accident or damage. The standard Oceanis 46.1 is supplied with a Z Spar in-mast furling rig and a relatively small mainsail. AZKENEAN was upgraded to a premium Selden furling mast, boom and complete rigging package specifically to carry a modern full-batten furling mainsail offering over 25% greater sail area, together with a significantly more robust furling system. The Selden design uses a precision cardan mechanism in place of the standard plastic endless-screw arrangement, delivering smoother, more reliable operation and greatly improved long-term durability.

The upgraded rig also removes many of the compromises associated with the standard arrangement, allowing the yacht to open the boom further when sailing downwind and dramatically improving sailing performance, particularly on offshore passages. The investment included a new Selden mast, boom, standing rigging, running rigging and associated deck hardware, effectively resetting one of the largest future ownership costs whilst creating a considerably more capable offshore cruising yacht.

Additional recent expenditure includes fresh Elvström sails, Torqeedo electric outboard, safety equipment servicing, engine servicing, antifouling and ongoing professional maintenance.

The interior presents in clean, lightly used condition and offers a bright, contemporary atmosphere with excellent natural light, generous storage and comfortable accommodation throughout.

A very serious cruising specification on one of the most successful modern production offshore cruisers in her class.

Broker’s Comments
AZKENEAN is one of the finest privately owned Beneteau Oceanis 46.1s currently available. Rather than simply maintaining the yacht to factory specification, her owner has systematically upgraded her into a genuine offshore cruising platform.

The centrepiece of these improvements is the professionally engineered 2023 Selden rig conversion. Rather than replacing like-for-like equipment, the standard Z Spar rig was intentionally upgraded to a premium Selden furling system carrying a larger full-batten mainsail. The result is a yacht with significantly improved downwind performance, greater sail area, a far more robust furling mechanism and considerably enhanced offshore capability.
Combined with the owner's three-cabin layout, lithium battery system, solar generation, Starlink Maritime, Iridium GO!, Predict, Wind Data, Hub, Rainman watermaker, comprehensive B&G electronics, recent Elvström sails and meticulous maintenance history, AZKENEAN represents a rare opportunity to purchase an Oceanis 46.1 that is already equipped for serious bluewater cruising.

Rather than budgeting for years of upgrades, her next owner can step aboard and depart immediately with confidence.

Unlike the standard Oceanis 46.1 specification, this yacht was upgraded specifically to carry a modern full-batten in-mast furling mainsail. The conversion increases mainsail area by more than 25%, substantially improving sailing performance whilst retaining the convenience of in-mast furling.

The Selden furling system is also considerably more robust than the standard installation, utilising a precision cardan mechanism rather than the standard plastic endless-screw arrangement, resulting in smoother operation and improved long-term reliability.
