"BIG LOUISE" Boat for Sale

"big Louise" Boat | 48' Beneteau 2022

2022 Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 First Line - 3 cabin / 2 head layout.         

Not just another Oceanis 46.1 - "BIG LOUISE" is set up to go fast.                                                                                                                                                                   

 "Big Louise" is no ordinary Oceanis 46.1, and even calling her "Turboed" is an understatement.  This First Line model, from the drawing board of Pascal Conq, employs a full-length, hard chine down close to the waterline for increased form stability with twin rudders, resulting in a very stable and powerful hull form that does not  get overpowered in gusts the way a single rudder boat does, in big gusts she simply puts her shoulder down and goes faster, no window-washing, no rounding-up, no drama...

   I'm Tom Hall, the listing agent, and I've been racing and daysailing on this boat for the past year and half so I know the boat very well.  When we do the test sail I'll pass along the techniques we've employed to have some great race results.  Contact me directly and I'll fill you in on all the details.  

Beneteau Firstline Model:

Being a 46.1 First Line she has a deep draft, lead bulb keel and Harken winches, all nice performance upgrades.  But it doesn't stop there, this owner opted for the the extra tall carbon-fiber, slab-reefing rig with a hydraulic backstay adjuster.  Also, custom Quantum racing sails which are all in excellent condition, including:
