Step aboard BateSea, a 2020 Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 (Hull #47) designed by Finot–Conq Architectes—a modern, spacious cruiser that delivers the Oceanis “big-boat” feel in a highly manageable package for shorthanded sailing. 🇺🇸 USA-built and purchased new in 2020 (no U.S. import tax/tariffs), she is positioned for Caribbean cruising with a highly practical shoal keel draft of 5’9” (1.75m). This Oceanis 46.1 stands out for true off-grid capability and cruising independence. ☀️ A dedicated solar arch with integrated dinghy davits supports 1620W total solar capacity, paired with a Victron LiFePO4 battery bank (5 x 100Ah, 2024) and Victron inverter/charger (2024). 💧 Add a Seawater Pro 120V watermaker rated at 40 gallons per hour and you have a compelling setup for extended time at anchor. On deck, BateSea is optimized for comfort and easy living with a full dodger + bimini with removable side panels, a full cockpit enclosure, and an electric opening swim platform that makes swimming and dinghy operations far easier. 🌴 Confident close-quarters handling is supported by a bow thruster, and her ground tackle is well-suited for Caribbean use. Below, the 3-cabin / 2-head layout is enhanced by thoughtful comfort upgrades including three Dometic EnviroComfort A/C units with reverse cycle heat, plus a bright, inviting salon. ⚓ For navigation and passagemaking confidence, she carries the Coastal B&G suite with dual Zeus3 displays, 4G radar, and VHF with AIS (Starlink noted as negotiable).

In this video, Capt. Jay Williams of David Walters Yachts (DWY) walks through the winter shrink-wrap process for a motoryacht—why it matters, how it’s done properly, and the key details that protect your investment through the off-season. You’ll see how a professional shrink-wrap setup helps safeguard exterior finishes, keeps the boat clean, reduces UV exposure, and—when done correctly—maintains ventilation to minimize moisture and mildew issues during storage. If you’re preparing your yacht for winter layup (or evaluating a boat that’s stored under wrap), this is a practical, real-world look at what “done right” actually looks like. Interested in buying or selling a quality motoryacht? Contact Capt. Jay Williams at David Walters Yachts to discuss your plans. 📞 Jay Williams – David Walters Yachts: 305-788-1121 📧 Email: jay@davidwaltersyachts.com 🌐 davidwaltersyachts.com – Search all listings and market reports Subscribe for more owner-focused yacht content, walkthroughs, and buying/selling guidance from the DWY team. #DavidWaltersYachts #DWY #CaptJayWilliams #JayWilliams #Motoryacht #MotorYacht #YachtLife #YachtMaintenance #BoatMaintenance #Winterizing #Winterization #ShrinkWrap #YachtStorage #WinterStorage #Boatyard #SeasonalMaintenance #MarineMaintenance #BoatingTips #YachtCare #YachtBroker

Meet MARE, a rare Via 52 aluminum expedition sailboat built for serious passagemaking and modern long-range cruising. Purpose-designed as a true go-anywhere bluewater voyager, MARE pairs the strength and safety of welded aluminum construction with a shoal-draft / beaching-capable centerboard configuration—yet still delivers deep-draft sailing performance when the board is down. A major part of MARE’s appeal is her full insulation, making her exceptionally well-suited for high-latitude cruising and comfortable living across a wide range of climates. On deck, the protected cockpit and pilothouse/deckhouse design provide outstanding shelter from wind, spray, and sun—exactly what experienced offshore sailors want when the miles (and weather) stack up. Key points you’ll see in this walkthrough: Expedition-grade aluminum hull/deck for durability and peace of mind Draft range: 1.10 m (3'7") board up / 3.30 m (10'10") board down Pilothouse + well-protected cockpit for all-weather watchkeeping and passagemaking comfort Refit-focused setup aimed at dependable, self-sufficient world cruising If you’d like more information about MARE or other bluewater cruisers, feel free to reach out: 📞 Chris Lafrance – David Walters Yachts: 721-588-3878 📧 Email: chris@davidwaltersyachts.com 🌐 davidwaltersyachts.com – Search all listings and market reports 📍 Location: St Martin, FWI 🔗 Price, full listing & specifications: https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/for-sale/9828231?hsLang=en #DavidWaltersYachts #BluewaterCruising #AluminumSailboat #ExpeditionYacht #Via52 #ShoalDraft #HighLatitudeCruising

Join Capt. Jay Williams for a clear, real-world breakdown the major sailboat rudder designs: skeg-hung, spade, twin rudders, and aperture/keel-mounted rudders. Whether you’re evaluating a bluewater cruiser, buying your first sailboat, or simply want to understand how rudder design impacts safety, handling, and performance, this episode gives you the knowledge every sailor should have. Jay draws from a lifetime at sea—cruising, running commercial vessels, managing shipyards, and overseeing new builds—to explain how each rudder type performs in real conditions: offshore swell, tight maneuvering, grounding scenarios, and heavy-weather helming. This is the practical, experience-based insight you won’t get from a textbook. ⚓ What Jay Covers in This Video The structural and performance differences between skeg-hung, spade, twin, and aperture rudders Which designs offer the best protection, steering feel, efficiency, and redundancy How rudder type influences offshore reliability and maintenance requirements Why some modern performance cruisers favor twin rudders How older full-keel and aperture designs behave under sail and power This video is essential for sailors considering a long-range cruiser, passagemaker, performance yacht, or classic full-keel sailboat — and for anyone who wants to understand the most critical steering component on a boat. If you have questions about sailboat systems, offshore readiness, or purchasing the right yacht for your goals, contact Jay Williams at David Walters Yachts. 📞 Jay Williams – David Walters Yachts: 305-788-1121 📧 Email: jay@davidwaltersyachts.com 🌐 davidwaltersyachts.com – Search all listings and market reports Sailboat rudders, skeg hung rudder, skeg rudder, spade rudder, twin rudders, aperture rudder, keel hung rudder, rudder design, rudder types explained, bluewater sailboat design, sailboat steering, boat rudder maintenance, offshore cruising safety, sailboat survey tips, cruising yacht design, yacht rudder failure, rudder bearings, sailboat handling, modern performance cruisers, full keel boats, sailboat basics, sailing education, Captain Jay Williams, David Walters Yachts
