No Worries

No Worries is our 2017 Beneteau model Oceanis 45 with 4 Cabins & 2 Heads plus convertible saloon table, sleeping maximum 10 guests.

The Oceanis 45 2016 model has been particularly successful, having snagged the prestigious European Sailboat of the Year award in the family cruiser category. The Beneteau 45 is a modern innovative yacht. The new design of the hull promises comfortable and fast sailing. The stylish mainsail arch, above the companionway, anchors the mainsheet and provides more space in the cockpit. A rigid boom vang eliminates the need for a traveler. The expansive cockpit features twin steering wheels as well as a large table with folding leaves. The most impressive feature is the large transom that drops down to form the swim platform. Almost level with the sea, the swim platform provides easy access to the dinghy.

Beneteau 45 – Accommodations

Below deck, the Alpi mahogany interior is bathed in natural light from the well placed ports. The galley, located on the port side, is equipped with refrigerator, freezer, double stainless steel sinks, stove with oven & sufficient storage and counter space to make meal preparation easy. The salon table and U-shaped settee, located on the starboard side, are ideal for enjoying a meal with family and friends. Light from two panoramic windows in the coachroof adds to the ambiance. Each of the four cabins has a double bed, reading light, fan, hanging locker & ample storage. The two heads are located aft, one on starboard & one on port, each with a modern vanity, mirror and shower.

Beneteau 45 – On Deck

The deck and cockpit layout is clean and functional. All hatches forward of the companionway are flush with the deck, in the contemporary style. All working lines run aft, with the jibsheets coming to self-tailing winches on the cockpit coamings within easy reach of the twin helm stations aft. All other lines, including mainsail controls, come to a pair of winches on the coachroof either side of the companionway. Helm ergonomics are good, with clear sightlines forward and a mix of comfortable steering positions. A long bench seat directly abaft the wheels makes it easy for others to come aft and socialize with the helmsperson. The cockpit’s most impressive feature is the electrically controlled full-width fold-down transom. With just a touch of a button, the entire transom, including that bench seat behind the helms, folds down flat to form an immense teak-covered beach that sits nearly flush with the water.
