Description
1993 Beneteau Oceanis 351. £43,950 The Oceanis 351 was an extremely successful design; at one point being acclaimed as the most popular 35 footer in Europe. While many of those examples were sold for charter operations of course, 'Maeve' has always been in private ownership and appears to have been well spec'd by a succession of experienced and discerning owners. The underwater sections have been epoxied and she benefits from a new Z spars mast and replacement of the standing rigging in 2018, along with much of the running rigging at the same time. Also, a new genoa in 2021 (the mainsail dates from 2005) and additionally much attention to electrical and electronic equipment. The Oceanis 351 offers indulgent space below and in the uncluttered cockpit and this example, with its almost equisized aft cabins can accommodate a growing family of mixed sex children, or three couples, or simply offers voluminous stowage in one of the aft cabins and comfort for four people in the other cabins. ** E-Mail or Call us for a link to an extensive cloud based photo file** Accommodation'Meave' has a 'three-cabin' 6+ berth layout, with a twin berth cabin forward, linear galley to port within the main saloon, seating and dining table to starboard opposite the galley; heads compartment to starboard (aft of the dining area), opposite a forward-facing and independent chart table. With two equal sized and mirrored aft cabins, each with a double berth. The Forward Cabin: provides a triangular double berth ahead of a full width sole area. Open storage shelf to both sides of the berth. To port side there is a shelved locker and to starboard is a half-height hanging locker. Good light and ventilation values are achieved by opening portlights to the coachroof sides and an overhead, forward facing hatch above the berth itself. Both windows and hatch are provided with roller blinds. Fire extinguisher. Within the Main Saloon; a generous and almost elliptical-shaped dining area is located toward the starboard side, with good light values provided by fixed hull port and deck light, supplemented by opening portlights to the coachroof side. Stowage lockers beneath the seating and behind some of the backrest cushions. The table is a good size and is firmly mounted. Fire extinguisher. A Linear Galley offers the kind of space and practical utility that only such galleys offer; featuring a large, moulded and refrigerated cold box aft of the cooker, a generous saucepan locker beneath the latter and closed locker spaces beneath one and a half stainless steel sinks (fitted with hot & cold mixer tap, plus supplementary cold-water back up supply). The under work surface lockers have been thoughtfully fitted out with supplementary shelf and storage racks and rubbish bin to maximise their utility. Good ventilation is ensured by an opening portlight directly above the cooker, while a fixed hull port outboard provides dancing light reflections from the sea's surface and enticing views for the 'galley' worker while down below. The two burner fully gimballed cooker is a Neptune 2500 by Plastimo, with grill and oven. Fire Blanket. Immediately aft the galley, to port side of the companionway is a dedicated, forward-facing and independent chart table, with the main 12V DC and 220-240V AC distribution panels located outboard of the Navigator's left shoulder. A flat screen tv monitor is fitted above the table itself, with VHF and entertainment radios located here too. The Heads Compartment is located to starboard side, opposite the chart table and conveniently well placed at the foot of the companionway down from the cockpit. The practical central location provides equal access to all three sleeping cabins and easy daytime use. Formed primarily by a GRP, easy wash-down moulding, the heads is fitted with a marine-flushing toilet connected to the sea through a holding tank. There is a moulded hand basin and separate shower head mounted on the aft bulkhead of the compartment with a bar mixer unit. Twin Aft Cabins are mirror images of each other and are of almost equal size. Both feature a fixed hull port and fixed, curved port that forms a corner to either side of the companionway. These are supplemented by overhead, opening hatches & portlights for additional light and ventilation. There are half-height hanging lockers in each aft cabins.Dual USB Charging sockets and fire extinguishers. The interior woodwork is of the more popular 'Teak' finish, with Teak and Holly soleboards, while the soft furnishings are of a soft green, with grey fleck 'Dralon'-type of fabric. A Webasto diesel hot air heating system is fitted, with 220-240V AC, UK sockets fitted around the yacht. A stereo CD/radio is fitted, together with speakers in the main saloon and cockpit and the flat screen monitor may be used as a TV, with a Glomex omni-directional antenna that is fitted at the masthead, together with a signal amplifier. Mechanical and Electrical systemsA Volvo Penta 2003 marine diesel, rated at approx. 28HP is flexibly mounted within a compartment behind the companionway steps and drives a three-bladed, Folding propeller through a conventional stainless steel shaft. The shaft runs within a moulded log that is incorporated within the hull's form to minimise it's exposure to fouling by extraneous ropes and floating debris. The engine is indirectly cooled through a heat exchanger and heats the domestic hot water when being run. An Ambassador Marine rope cutter is fitted to the propeller shaft, immediately ahead of the propeller. Engine running hours are recorded as being 1865 (Early Nov 2023). A Max Power bow thruster is fitted with controls placed at cockpit helm.
