Beneteau Oceanis 430 "Chimaera" - Proven Bluewater Cruiser | Solid, Capable & Ready for Her Next Chapter
"Chimera" is a well-regarded Beneteau Oceanis 430, a model known for its solid construction, reliability, and comfortable cruising capability. Built to inspire confidence in a wide range of conditions, she offers a stable and dependable sailing platform
- ideal for coastal cruising, family adventures, or longer passages.
This 1989 Oceanis 430 delivers the spacious layout and practical design that has made the model so popular, with excellent liveability both at anchor and underway. Her generous proportions and thoughtful design make her equally suited to relaxed cruising or occasional club racing.
She has benefited from a number of important upgrades over time, adding real value and peace of mind:
Key Features & Upgrades:
Rigging and chainplates replaced (October 2018)
Furling mainsail and headsail for easy handling
Folding propeller for improved sailing efficiency
Electric anchor winch

"Chimaera" presents well and has clearly been cared for, however like many yachts of this vintage she would benefit from some further attention and finishing works. She is being offered as-is, representing an excellent opportunity for a buyer to secure a proven, capable cruiser and continue bringing her up to their own standard.
A solid and reliable yacht with great bones, "Chimaera" is well worth inspection for those seeking value and potential in a respected cruising design.
Reluctantly selling, as we have a young family, we are unfortunately unable to give her the time and attention she deserves.
More information and photos can be provided upon request. Boat located in Wyndham Harbour.
