Meet Retriever
Retriever is a 2008 Beneteau Oceanis 40, a cruising sailboat that has become the center of this journey. She is large enough for extended cruising, manageable enough to sail without a large crew, and steadily being adapted for the way I want to use her.
Her story is still evolving as systems are repaired, upgraded, and refined for longer voyages ahead.
For the key facts, keep it simple:
- Year: 2008
- Model: Beneteau Oceanis 40
- Layout: 2-cabin
- Engine: Yanmar diesel
- Home Port: Norfolk, Virginia
