Pre-Purchase Survey on this Classic Oyster 46ft Ketch in the Ionian / Preveza / Lefkada Greece.
Designed by Holman and Pye, the HP46 was Oysters first deck saloon yacht, the large opening saloon windows allowed light to flood into the accommodation, transforming the traditional saloon into a light, bright and inviting place to be. The deck saloon went on to revolutionise cruising yacht design.
A high volume, safe, seaworthy cruising yacht with a generous accommodation plan, twenty-five HP46s were launched between 1981 and 1990. She is a proven circumnavigator, with many variations to the deck layout, and accommodation layout. Early examples were rigged as ketches as this example, while later examples were sloops.

Yacht Survey in the Ionian on this Beneteau
I was back Surveying this Beneteau Oceanis 423 Yacht in the Ionian today at Cleopatra's Yard in Preveza. Strange to see so many boats on the Hard this time of year.
Strange times!
These production built boats get a good review generally. The hull is hand-laid solid fiberglass with a vinylester barrier coat. The hull and structural hull liner are bonded using polyester adhesive. The deck is balsa cored.
She has plainly benefited from the copious experience of both its builders and her designer. And she also benefits from being an ideal size. She's a big 42-footer: You can fit her out with everything you could possibly need for cruising, and put a hard dinghy or RIB on the foredeck to boot!
