Construction per manufacture description

Built to the stringent standards of the European Directive and CE certification, this Oceanis 48 features a robust monolithic polyester hull married to a monolithic structural inner molding that is fully bonded to the shell for exceptional rigidity. The deck is injection‑molded in a glass‑fiber/balsa sandwich and finished with a diamond‑point non‑skid for secure footing in all conditions. The deck‑to‑hull joint is screwed, bonded, and banded, and crowned by a single solid‑wood bulwark for a clean, durable sheer. Under the waterline, a cast‑iron keel is secured with bolts and stainless‑steel backing plates for strength and serviceability, while the rudder is hung on a glass‑composite stock for precise, reliable steering. The hull presents in white with refined grey‑metal graphics for a timeless, modern profile.

Rigging per manufacture description

A performance‑minded rig begins with a nine‑tenths anodized‑aluminum mast stepped on deck with two aft‑swept spreaders, paired to an anodized‑aluminum boom and discontinuous stainless‑steel standing rigging for strength with controlled weight aloft. Twin backstays with bottlescrews and a rigid boom vang with tackle maintain sail shape, while a genoa furling system with a deck‑mounted drum keeps headsail handling effortless. Mainsail loads are guided by two stand‑up blocks on the fixed composite arch and two genoa tracks with piston‑adjusted traveler cars feed two genoa sheet turning blocks for clean, efficient sheeting angles. All running rigging is sensibly led aft to the cockpit—save the boom topping lift—for singlehanded ease, and it includes the main halyard, a genoa halyard with a mast clutch and cleat, a boom topping lift with mast cleat, the mainsheet, two genoa sheets, two rapid reefing lines, and one manual reef. Control is at your fingertips with eight clutches and stowage enhanced by two dedicated halyard bags.

Stern deck swim platform per manufacture description

At anchor, the fully opening transom lowers to create a generous bathing platform measuring 2.85 m by 0.77 m, or 9’4’’ by 2’6’’, extending your cockpit into the sea at the touch of a button thanks to electric operation. Natural solid‑wood decking underfoot adds warmth and grip, and a stainless‑steel swim and boarding ladder with solid‑wood steps folds neatly away when underway.

Sails

A versatile inventory ensures power and balance across the wind range: the original Dacron furling mainsail pairs with the original Dacron jib rated at one hundred ten percent, while a custom carbon‑fiber jib at one hundred ten percent with an ATN cover and ATN deck bag sharpens light‑air performance. For downwind work and reaching, an A2 with an ATN dousing sleeve sets quickly and snuffs cleanly, complemented by a Code Zero on a Seldén furler and an A3 also on a Seldén furler. Heavy‑weather capability is covered by a robust heavy‑weather genoa, a storm tri‑sail, and a dedicated storm jib.

Essential systems include a battery charger, an electric bilge pump for automatic dewatering, hot water throughout, and an electric head arrangement with two fresh‑water toilets. Dockside or off‑grid, a fresh water maker sustains independence, while heating by Webasto Marine Comfort maintains a welcoming climate. For precise low‑speed control, the bow thruster stands ready, and additional cold‑storage capacity is provided by the deep freezer.

Outside equipment/extras

The deck plan invites open‑air living with a twin‑helm station for optimal visibility, plush cockpit cushions, a cockpit shower for rinsing after a swim, and a foldable teak cockpit table that transforms the area for alfresco dining.
