Our yacht is a Beneteau Oceanis 45 called Estela.
She is configured for luxury and cruising although she has entered a race or two, just for fun. Estela features the four cabin version, so has 5 separate sleeping areas (including the saloon). We have equipped Estela fully for 8 persons.
A single line, slab reefing mainsail, furling genoa, blade jib and cruising shute make up her sail wardrobe.
Her cabin is spacious, and the saloon and cabins comfortable, with a layout you can see below.
The on-board navigation equipment is well specified as you would expect, including radar. The saloon includes a fridge and freezer. The on-board microwave is for when connected to shore power, but an inboard inverter allows for charging those mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
