Seller's Description

Some boats just say Wow these owners Love this boat and have done so many extra things to improve her. Well, that boat is OCEAN DANCER.

A beautiful well-fitted Beneteau 40 CC she has been sailed and lived aboard for some years now by the same couple who are now ready to return to shore. Swallowing the Anchor…

A True Walk on Sail Away - leave tomorrow you can be in Bimini in one overnighter.

Just a few of the reviews:

This boat maximizes spaciousness and big-boat accommodations in a 40-foot hull and all for a relatively low price

Known for their stability and ease of sailing, she would be a fantastic boat for a cruising family to spend time in the islands or a seasoned veteran to seek further shores while doing so in the utmost comfort.

Her wide decks make moving about a breeze, the very large cockpit is great for entertaining or just enjoying the outdoors all while under the security of the custom built hard top. The custom deck box is huge enough to hold all the boats gear and a large familys fun water toys. The sugar scoop stern makes boarding and getting into the water safer and loads of fun.

Downstairs is very well laid out in large spaces with the u-shaped settee table dining or entertaining is a breeze, the butcher block (custom) countertop in the galley not only looks great but is a functional piece of artistry. A full-size fridge has been added for those longer trips to the Bahamas or Caribbean (points unknown) and the need arises to store more perishable.

The spacious 3/4 berth and forward head make for a berth that is fully enclosable for guests or put crew up there, plenty of storage space throughout to store all the gear necessary.

Down the hallway and into the massive owners stateroom here youll find a centerline (extended) queen bed with en-suite full head.

Her spotless engine room floor and dry bilges show just how loved and cared for she is.

Please contact me for the many updates and upgrades the owners have done over the last few years:

Equipment: Custom hard top with sliding access panels for easier entry into the cockpit. 3-4 yrs. ago.

Custom steps just outside the hard top for that extra lift.

Custom aft deck box. As mentioned above this thing is huge with tons of storage space.

All the stanchions were raised and re bedded.

Mast, standing and running rigging, and standing rigging were replaced brand new just 5 years ago.

2 sails. Roller furling Doyl headsail with brand new sacrificial sunbrella fabric. 4 batten 3 reef heavy cruising main sail.

All lines run into the cockpit for easier handling.

New stack packs and lazy jacks just 5 years ago.

All new electronics just 5 years ago. With AIS.

587-amp hours of battery capacity.

Separate 12v engine crank battery.

All 110 circuits are run through a Victron MultiPlus 2000-watt inverter/ 60-amp charger.

1860 WATTS of solar. (4)

5 new hatches as of 3 years ago.

200 of 5-year-old anchor chain (no rode).

Medium sized GE fridge for more space yet only draws 8 amps.

Balmar 90-amp alternator, 180 twin poles. Switches allow for on / off.

Lewmar 48s as well as all other are self-tailing, winches.

And many more.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
?
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
?

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
?
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
