This comprehensive upgrade is a significant improvement over the original system documented in the 2022 survey.

• Advanced Lithium House Battery Bank:
  1. Features a new LiTime 12V 280Ah LiFePO4 house battery, providing a massive 3584Wh of usable energy. LiFePO4 technology offers longer life (up to 15,000 cycles), higher efficiency, and lighter weight compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
  2. The battery includes built-in Low-Temperature Charging Protection (LTCP), where the 200A BMS automatically prevents charging below 0°C (32°F) to protect the cells from damage.
• Dedicated Engine Start Battery:
  1. Includes a separate and reliable Interstate AGM start battery to ensure dependable engine cranking without drawing from the house bank.
• Intelligent Victron Charging System:
  1. A new Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger (12/50) serves as the primary AC shore power charger. This intelligent, multi-stage charger is compatible with both Li-ion and lead-acid chemistries and can be monitored and configured via Bluetooth with the VictronConnect app.
  2. A new Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Battery Charger intelligently charges the LiFePO4 house bank from the engine’s alternator. This is crucial for protecting the alternator and providing the correct multi-stage charge profile for the lithium battery, and is fully compatible with smart alternators.
• Comprehensive Victron Power Monitoring:
  1. A Victron BMV-712 Smart Shunt was professionally installed to provide highly accurate, real-time monitoring of the battery bank’s state of charge, voltage, current, power consumption, and time remaining.
  2. The system allows for monitoring of both the house bank and the starter battery voltage, all accessible via the physical display or the VictronConnect Bluetooth app.
• Safety & Protection:
  1. A ProMariner ProSafe FS60 (60 amp) Failsafe Galvanic Isolator was professionally installed to protect the vessel’s underwater metals from galvanic corrosion caused by shore power connections.
  2. All new charging components and battery banks were installed with new, appropriately sized circuit protection by ABYC-certified marine electricians, ensuring the system is safe and compliant with modern standards.

     3. The well-protected cockpit features genoa sheet winches (2 x Lewmar 44 CSTO) within easy reach of the helmsman, making her easy to sail shorthanded.

The Beneteau 361 is famed for feeling much larger than her 36 feet, with exceptional light and volume below deck. This desirable 2-cabin “owner’s version” offers an exceptionally spacious interior with a huge aft cabin and generous storage. The interior is immaculate, with warm cherry-wood finishes, teak and holly flooring, and upholstery in excellent condition.

• Main Salon: An exceptionally bright and well-appointed living space with a U-shaped settee to starboard and a versatile dining table that can be lowered to form an additional berth or raised to the ceiling to create more space. A comfortable settee to port sits opposite the dining area, adjacent to a dedicated forward-facing navigation station. Numerous hatches and opening ports provide excellent natural light and ventilation.
• Galley: The U-shaped galley is conveniently located to port at the base of the companionway. It is well-equipped with a gimballed 2-burner propane stove with oven, a 180L top-loading refrigerator, a double stainless steel sink with pressurized hot and cold water, and ample storage.
• Aft Cabin (Owner’s Version): A very large private aft cabin featuring a massive 2m x 2m (approx. 6’6” x 6’6”)double berth. Excellent ventilation is provided by opening ports to the cockpit and coaming. It includes a hanging locker and abundant storage.
• Forward Cabin: Comfortable V-berth measuring 2.00m x 1.70m (approx. 6’6” x 5’7”) with a hanging locker and shelves.

Beneteau has a century-long history of building robust, innovative, and seaworthy boats.

• Hull & Deck: The hull is solid GRP laminate with a structural inner grid for superior strength and load distribution from the keel and rigging. The deck is balsa-cored for rigidity and insulation. Beneteau’s construction includes a vinylester resin layer (BWS System) to protect the gel coat and virtually eliminate osmotic blistering.
• Keel & Rudder: This model features the shoal draft cast iron keel (5’0” draft), ideal for cruising the Bahamas and coastal waters. The propeller shaft is protected by a GRP skeg.
• Rigging: The masthead sloop rig has two sets of aft-swept spreaders and twin backstays for a strong and stable setup. Chainplates are affixed inboard to stainless steel support rods, distributing loads effectively into the hull structure.
