The Beneteau Oceanis 46 is a Berret Racoupeau-designed fractional sloop built by Beneteau since 2007, marketed in the US as the Beneteau 46. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, measures 14.4 meters LOA with a 4.2-meter beam, and displaces 10,565 kg. Aboard *Sailing Yacht Ula*, the crew sailed the Mediterranean, including passages from Turkey to Greece and Tunisia to Malta, often motor-sailing in light winds or navigating strong gusts up to 40 knots, requiring double-reefed mains and partial genoas. They encountered issues such as a fouled hull, solar charging failures requiring a new MPPT controller, and battery replacements in confined spaces. *Sailing Sunday* navigated the Bahamas, relying on satellite imagery to avoid coral bombies in shallow waters and dealing with persistent mainsail jamming.1:01 A solo sailor on *Sailing Sunday* used bow thrusters to dock in 15-knot winds during a hurricane evacuation, timing bridge transits and marina access with tidal cycles.
