2008 Beneteau

2008 beneteau 49 the beneteau 49 is 'the best cruising boat ever'. large cockpit and spacious interior allow for easy 'liveability' and that has been tested by the current owners who have lived aboard and cruised for the past 8 years. they have owned the boat since new and initially sailed on the chesapeake bay until they took to full-time cruising, between maine and the bahamas in 2011. the sailing performance of this vessel is outstanding and it is of the first model of the era where the beam was carried all the way aft, giving it a long waterline and flat 'underbelly' which means that it performs better when sailing more upright. dream catcher is in fabulous condition, has been scrubbed from bow to stern in preparation for new owners and is ready to head out on another adventure. she is the 2-cabin, 2-head version of the boat with the large aft cabin with 45 degree queen berth. the owners have made numerous practical adaptations to make the boat safer and more cruiser-friendly. equipment and upgrades include: northern lights 5kw generator new quantum triradial genoa (2019) katadayn 160 watermaker rocna 33 anchor w/ 200' chain electric primary winches 1 electric secondary winch raymarine 4kw radar (2014) all new electronics (2014 - list under descriptions) icom ssb radio ais transceiver maxprop balmar 100a alternator led lighting throughout airconditioning (2 units) asymmetrical spinnaker cockpit canvas made of stamoid w/ tenara thread (2016), includes full enclosure 6-man life raft epirb dinghy and outboard motor davits outboard motor lift electric windlass anchor washdown and a lot more come and see dream catcher so you can grasp at our dreams! appointments necessary to see this boat.
