1988 Beneteau Oceanis 430 SELLER HAS SPENT OVER $34,000 IN RECENT UPGRADES!!! SEQUEL IS A COMFORTABLE, SEAWORTHY, BOAT THAT IS EASY TO SAIL. SELLER REPORTS HAVING BEEN OUT A NUMBER OF TIMES IN WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 KNOTS WITHOUT DIFFICULTY (WITH SINGLE REEFED MAIN AND PARTIALLY ROLLED UP GENOA). SHE IS EASY TO REEF WITHOUT LEAVING THE COCKPIT & THE LAZY JACKS MAKE DROPPING THE MAIN A BREEZE. SHE HAS EXCEEDED 8 KNOTS MANY TIMES. ON DAYS WHEN THE WIND IS LIGHT, SELLER REPORTS SOMETIMES MOTOR-SAIL WITH THE MAIN (AND SOMETIMES THE GENOA) UP. SELLER MOTOR-SAILED MORE THAN A HUNDRED MILES ON A TRIP TO ISLE ROYAL AND USED LESS THAN $30.00 WORTH OF FUEL. TRY THAT IN A POWERBOAT!
