The opportunity

A Bruce Farr-designed cruising yacht equipped for greater self-sufficiency, with extensive electronics, solar, watermaker, renewed rigging, and a rebuilt Yanmar diesel.

This Oceanis 461 is configured for extended cruising and comfortable living aboard. More than $100,000 in reported upgrades over the last decade touches the navigation network, power generation and storage, water production, rigging, sail inventory, climate control, and interior comfort.

The three-cabin layout has been adapted for greater storage, with one aft cabin professionally converted into a walk-in locker. A 915-watt solar array, Spectra watermaker, Magnum hybrid inverter/charger, and substantial battery capacity support quieter, more independent time at anchor.
