Overview

Beneteau 411 #96 is a unique, highly-customized example of the most successful 40-foot sailing yacht design ever built by Beneteau. She was built for the head of Beneteau USA operations and boasts many special features resulting in a fast, easy to sail, very comfortable sailing yacht.

Description

With her 4’9” shoal draft and custom tapered tall rig (ICW-friendly), she is a proven race winner from New England to Charleston and The Bahamas. She should be of exceptional appeal to a sailor wanting what is likely the fastest 411 afloat with the ability to cruise the Bahamas and still be easily single-handed. Her custom, original bright blue gelcoat hull still turns heads, and her sleek profile and traditional lines still elicit many compliments from yachtsmen.

When you step aboard this fantastic example of the 411, it is evident that her owners have cared greatly for her, upgrading and maintaining her through the years. Some of her most notable features and upgrades include, but are certainly not limited to:

2017 Yanmar Engine

Neil Pryde Performance Suit of Sails, Many Very Lightly Used

Lewmar Performance Winches

2026 Dodger

Air Conditioning (with shore power) & Heater (engine-driven)
