Eos, 2008 Beneteau Oceanis 40

Eos, is an outstanding example of the popular Beneteau Oceanis 40.  The BO40 was selected as the 'mid-sized boat of the year' by Cruising World Magazine when she was first introduced in 2008.  Comfortable and stylish belowdecks and well organized topsides, the Beneteau 40 shows good light-air performance as well as being easily handling in a stiffer breeze.  Sail handing is simplied with furling sails, an electric halyard winch, and twin helms.  Belowdecks, the Beneteau 40 comes with a three-cabin, two head layout and straight-lined, modern interior styling.

Eos has been professionally maintained by the current owners and comes with a long list of recent upgrades and improvements over the past four years.  If you are looking for a well equipped, mid-sized cruiser, you need to give Eos a very close look.  You won't be disappointed.
