Beneteau Oceanis 430 - 3 Cabin Cruiser Just Listed

# 1991 Beneteau Oceanis 430 -- Sayan 2

43' / 13.11m | 3-Cabin Cruiser | Diesel | Shaft Drive | Subic Bay, Philippines

Sayan 2 is a well-maintained and extensively updated Beneteau Oceanis 430, now located in Subic Bay, Philippines, following her recent voyage from Cebu to Subic Bay.

Importantly, this is not a yacht that has simply been sitting at the dock waiting for a buyer. Her recent Cebu-to-Subic passage provides a current demonstration of her ability to cruise Philippine waters.

A recent marine survey was completed on April 23, providing prospective buyers with additional current information on the vessel's condition.

Designed as a comfortable and capable cruising yacht, the Oceanis 430 combines a spacious interior and cockpit with manageable sailing characteristics. Sayan 2 has been maintained by an experienced sailor and has benefited from significant upgrades and maintenance.

## Recent Upgrades & Maintenance

* **Recent marine survey completed April 23**
* **New sail wardrobe**
* **New running rigging**
* **New electronics**
* **Autopilot**
* **GPS chartplotter**
* **New keel bolts**
* **Recent antifouling**
* **New cockpit dodger**
* **New cockpit bimini**
* **Recent marine gearbox overhaul -- removed, disassembled, cleaned and inspected; new bearings and oil seals; reassembled with fresh ATF**
* **Recently cruised from Cebu to Subic Bay**

The replacement of the keel bolts is particularly noteworthy on a yacht of this age and reflects the attention that has been given to maintaining Sayan 2 rather than simply addressing cosmetic appearance.

## Accommodation

Sayan 2 features the desirable three-cabin layout, providing three enclosed double cabins.

With an approximately 14-foot beam, the Oceanis 430 offers impressive interior volume for a 43-foot sailing yacht. The spacious saloon, generous accommodation and large cockpit make her equally suitable for extended cruising, liveaboard use or comfortable family sailing.

Approximate interior headroom is 6'3", adding to the open and comfortable feel below deck.

## A Proven Southeast Asian Cruiser

Sayan 2 has cruised Southeast Asian waters extensively and has been maintained with cruising reliability in mind.

Her recent passage from Cebu to Subic Bay is an important part of her history. Rather than being offered after an extended period sitting unused, she arrives in Subic following an actual inter-island passage.

The April 23 survey also gives serious buyers a useful recent reference point when reviewing the vessel prior to arranging their own inspection or survey.

She is now conveniently positioned in Subic Bay, one of the Philippines' principal yachting and marine-service centers, making inspection, survey and sea trial straightforward for serious buyers.

For an international buyer looking to begin cruising Southeast Asia, Sayan 2 is already positioned in an excellent cruising region without the expense and logistics of transporting a yacht from Europe, Australia or North America.

## Why Sayan 2?

Finding a 43-foot cruising yacht at this price is one thing.

Finding one with a recent survey, recent sails, rigging upgrades, modern navigation electronics, autopilot, replacement keel bolts, recent antifouling, updated cockpit protection, a recently overhauled marine gearbox and a recent substantial passage is considerably more difficult.

Sayan 2 offers the space and capability of a genuine 43-foot cruising yacht while remaining within a purchase and operating range substantially below that of newer yachts of comparable size.

Sayan 2 is available for inspection in Subic Bay, Philippines.

Serious inquiries are welcome. Additional photographs, equipment inventory, maintenance information and survey documentation can be provided upon request.
