It is rare to find a cruising boat that combines long-term original ownership, a recent full systems refit, and proven global voyaging under the current owner. Eda is not a dock queen refit — she is a boat that has been rebuilt, tested, and refined at sea.

The owner’s investment focused on core systems that matter offshore: engine and drivetrain, rigging, sails, anchoring, electrical generation, communications, safety systems, and redundancy. Many original components were retained as spares, a level of preparation that experienced sailors will immediately recognize.

This Oceanis 461 stands apart from typical market offerings and is genuinely ready to depart again.

Eda is configured in the Owner’s Version, offering excellent privacy, storage, and livability.

• Forward owner’s stateroom with large berth and extensive storage
• Aft private cabin with generous lockers
• Two heads with showers
• Main salon with U-shaped seating and dining table
• Navigation station at chart table
• Galley aft with excellent working space
• Full set of cockpit cushions
• Bright, well-ventilated interior suitable for long-term cruising

Significant mechanical upgrades completed in 2023–2024 include:

• New (2023) Nanni 21 HP diesel engine with transmission. These engines are built on proven Kubota industrial blocks, run smoother and quieter, and emphasize simple, mechanical systems that cruisers can service almost anywhere in the world.

• The owner selected the Nanni 21 to maximize fuel efficiency while still pushing the boat at 7 knots under power.

• Approx. 3,977 hours on the Nanni engine (world cruising use)

• New (2023) propeller shaft and propeller

• New (2023) engine belts, hoses, filters, and service components

• Bypassable engine radiator for cabin heating

• Original Westerbeke 63 HP diesel (approx. 1,300 hrs), transmission, prop shaft, and folding propeller removed and placed in storage — sold separately, if desired
  
  

  This propulsion refit represents a major investment and dramatically improves reliability and serviceability.

• New (2023) 73 lb Rocna anchor
• 200’ of 3/8” galvanized anchor chain
