Life on the Cobia 296: this boat has an extremely deep cockpit, the deck is level from stem to stern, and you're always ringed on all sides by tall gunwales that keep you securely inside the boat. As we begin casting I notice those tall gunwales are good for something else, too. They're at just the right height to lean up against without feeling like you could lose your balance and flip over the side, and they're lined with cushy bolsters. The down-side to those tall gunwales? More windage, a longer haul when you need to bring the catch in over the side, and you can't easily reach the water to rinse off your hands. The extra heft of the larger boat also, naturally, made it more comfortable in the waves. That's a given—when the waves are rockin' and rollin' there's no substitute for LOA and displacement—but my comfort level on the 296 went up even farther when I heard the call of nature. If you're sick and tired of box-like center console cabins that make using the head a contorted, cramped chore, just take a look at this boat's head compartment. Seriously—take a look for yourself. I found it so roomy, I decided to shoot this video so you could lay your eyeballs on it up close and personal.

This Beneteau First 375 has been meticulously maintained by her current owner. With many recent upgrades, Cheeky Amie is ideally set up for fast, comfortable sailing in the Pacific North West. Attention to detail is evident throughout and there’s a list of recent upgrades that includes standing rigging, life lines, keel bolts, hot water tank, furling gear and more. With the possibility of assumable moorage at Thunderbird Marina in West Vancouver, this boat is a must see. The deck layout and hardware upgrades have been carefully thought out and feature self-tailing Lewmar winches, Harken Battcar system on the main, a rigid boom vang, with all lines, including reefing lines for the main and adjustable genoa fairleads, led back to the cockpit. The windlass has foot switches on deck, as well as a wired remote at the helm, making it possible to drop or retrieve anchor without leaving the cockpit. There is a large (41″) leather covered wheel, with a Raymarine chart plotter mounted on the pedestal, as well as radar, wind, apparent wind, depth, AIS, VHF and a stereo with cockpit speakers. The teak decks are in good condition and have been regularly maintained. Cheeky Aime’s owner raves about how well balanced the boat is, thanks to her design and to a versatile sail suite. She comes with a North Sails Dacron main with 2 reef points, a Dacron 140% furling genoa, a 100% jib, and a Bamar Rollgen furling gennaker. This fast and easy to furl gennaker comes with both heavy and light air sheets. Below you’ll find a warm and bright 2 cabin design with 6’ 1” headroom. The aft cabin, like the forward cabin, is equipped with a double bed, a dressing table and hanging locker. The dining room table comfortably seats six, and converts to another double. The galley features a 3 burner propane stove with oven, refrigeration, and pressure hot water. A diesel Planer forced air heating system takes the chill of cool nights. The head includes a shower, and there’s a holding tank with macerator. Interior and exterior lights have been converted to LED. Extras include a 10.5 foot AB inflatable with cover and 9.9 Mercury outboard. Inflated the dinghy fits nicely on the foredeck and there’s a lifting crane for stowing the outboard on the pushpit. There are Sumbrella covers for the wheel pedestal, hand rails, winches and windlass, as well as a custom full boat winter cover. Bottom and zincs were done in May, as well as an out of the water survey. Contact us now for more about this ready-to-go Beneteau or to book an appointment to view.
