BENETEAU OCEANIS 500

Hardrock is a classic monohull (15.3 meters long) made by Beneteau. It was built in France in 1991. Sloop rigged and built for the high seas as the model with the name Oceanis suggests. She can accommodate 8 people in 4 cabins. In order to be as self-sufficient as possible, we built a large equipment rack and equipped it with 640 watt solar panels. We have installed a radio, AIS, plotter and radar for communication. A lazybag makes it easier to recover the main sail. The genoa is attached to a furling system and a kite is available for light winds.
