New Listing: 2008 Beneteau 46

Referrals are a broker's best friend, and I was very flattered to secure an excellent listing for this 2008 Beneteau 46 through a referral from an existing client.



I'm very familiar with the boat and sail past it all the time, so it was great to finally get onboard and see the interior. Unlike many of the larger Beneteaus, this boat has a traditional mainsail with an electric halyard winch and a "StackPack" for the main - exactly what I described as the ideal set-up in one of my first posts here. Not only does this offer a significant performance boost over in-mast furling, but the StackPack also eliminates the need for sail ties and cumbersome flaking - the main just drops right into the bag. Very civilized, and no anxiety about a furler that could jam at the worst possible moment!
