Adelie II is a 1991 Beneteau Oceanis 440, a model well known among cruising sailors for combining practical sailing performance with a comfortable live-aboard interior. Designed by Bruce Farr and built by Beneteau, the Oceanis 440 became one of the more popular cruising yachts of the early Oceanis line thanks to its balanced sailing characteristics, generous cockpit, and spacious accommodations.
The Oceanis 440 is appreciated for its straightforward sailing setup and comfortable deck layout. Wide side decks and a large cockpit make moving around the boat easy and secure, while sail handling is arranged so the boat can be managed by a small crew. Adelie II has features that simplify sail handling and provide cockpit protection.
Inside, the Oceanis design emphasizes space and functionality. Adelie II follows the familiar layout of this model with multiple cabins and heads, providing good accommodation for cruising with family or guests. The salon offers comfortable seating and a practical dining space, while the galley is set up for extended cruising. The boat also includes hot water and pressurized freshwater systems.
The vessel is powered by a diesel engine and includes cruising electronics and power-generation equipment. These features provide a solid starting point for a capable cruising platform.
It is important for prospective buyers to understand that Adelie II should be considered a project vessel. While the boat has a lot to offer and includes a number of useful cruising features, she will likely benefit from maintenance, updating, and general recommissioning. For someone looking for a turn-key yacht, this may not be the right fit. However, for a buyer willing to invest time and effort, the boat represents an opportunity to acquire a well-regarded cruising design and bring it back to her full potential.
The equipment onboard has not been tested by the broker, and buyers should assume that systems and equipment may require servicing, repair, or replacement. As with any vessel of this age, a thorough inspection and survey are strongly recommended.
For the right buyer—particularly someone comfortable with improving and updating an older cruising yacht—Adelie II presents a solid foundation and a respected cruising design with plenty of potential.
