Overview
About this vessel
SEA BANSHEE is a 1996 Beneteau Oceanis 40 Center Cockpit and is a well-cared-for cruiser that offers a great mix of comfort, performance, and practicality. Powered by a reliable 50HP Yanmar diesel engine, it's well-suited for both coastal cruising and longer offshore passages.
The center cockpit provides a safe, protected space for sailing and relaxing, with easy access to the transom swim platform and shower. Below deck, the layout features two private cabins, each with its own head, along with a functional galley and a spacious saloon for dining or unwinding.
A Beneteau Oceanis 40 Center Cockpit is surprisingly well-suited to San Francisco Bay because it strikes an excellent balance between comfort, seaworthiness, and manageable sailing characteristics. While it wasn't designed as a racing boat for the Bay, it excels as a cruiser in one of the world's finest sailing venues.
Many Bay sailors eventually decide they value comfort as much as speed. The Oceanis 40 CC offers a secure cockpit for sailing in 20-30 knots, comfortable motion in steep Bay chop, excellent visibility for navigating among ferries and commercial traffic, spacious accommodations for overnighting or extended cruising, and proven offshore capability for coastal passages.
For someone who enjoys daysailing on San Francisco Bay and also wants to spend a week cruising the coast or the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the 1996 Oceanis 40 Center Cockpit is a very well-rounded choice.
Construction
A Balsa wood cored molded fiberglass deck and cabin assembly have been bonded as well as through bolted to the deck flange via an anodized aluminum toe railing, which has been bedded in mastic. The deck was constructed by a closed molding injection system (glass fiber, balsa, synthetic resin sandwich). All areas of working and maneuvering on deck are molded nonskid. Solid reinforced areas are constructed at points under the deck fittings (winches, tracks, chain plates, cleats). The exterior of the vessel has white linear polyurethane painted finish. The bottom of the boat has been epoxy resin sealed and painted with an ablative anti-fouling paint.
Accommodations
Accommodations are comfortably laid out in a double cabin arrangement with one piece molded head compartment for easy maintenance—mid forward guest cabin, the central salon, navigation station, mid aft galley and after masters cabin. The design serves as an ideal long-distance cruising yacht for a couple, but with the capability of accommodating four or five people in the greatest comfort.
The hull is remarkable for its long waterline, big volumes and efficient wing-bulb keel. The structural inner molding, glued and laminated to the hull, distributes any stresses from the rigging and keel. This technology combines reliability and strength and also provides perfectly finished locker interiors that are easy to maintain.
One of the principal advantages of a central cockpit is the incomparable safety derived from the height of the cockpit, which is surrounded on all sides. There is a step of the coaming on the Oceanis 40CC to make it easier to get up the two teak-covered bench seats in the cockpit. Genoa and mainsail halyards and the lines for the two furlers are brought back onto powerful stoppers that free the halyard winch, whenever necessary. All handling lines are to hand.
The Oceanis 40CC's deck is totally logical, simple and efficient, with steps in the transom (standard bathing ladder), life raft fixing point on aft coach roof, solid wooden bulwark the full length of the hull, as well as a teak rubbing strake. The numerous opening hatches and Dorade vents are positioned in such a way so as not to impede movement on deck.
In the interior, the warm atmosphere (cherry finish) is essential to a good quality of life on board. To starboard, the saloon table and the raised settees ensure a pleasant sea view from inside the boat. Opposite to port is the navigation station: chart table with stowage, bookshelves, and all the room you need for on-board electronics. In the forward cabin, guests have a large double berth, hanging locker, and many other lockers with an en suite head compartment. The galley has a freezer, refrigerator, double stainless steel sink with hot and cold pressurized water, three-burner gimbaled stove and many cupboards and drawers. In the master cabin, the center cockpit advantages are fully exploited: large double berth with access from both sides, vanity-desk with mirror and lockers, large hanging lockers and an own head compartment with WC and separate shower.
