Meridian 441 flybridge
length of 47.2 ft - beam of 17.1 ft - draft of 2.95 ft - semi-planing hull. 6 berths (2 double beds + convertible sofa). It is registered under the French flag and dates from 2008.
2 cabins with 2 bathrooms. The aft cabin has its own bathroom with a real shower stall.
The second cabin has direct access from inside to the second bathroom. This bathroom is also accessible via the staircase. This bathroom features a marine shower, a showerhead, and a floor drain.
The main living area includes a salon with a convertible sofa, a dining area with a table and 2 benches for 4 people, and a kitchen.
Under the salon, an access ladder leads to the interior locker, where a freezer and a washing machine were planned to be installed – space is reserved (but check with Seb about installations and connections).
The flybridge is sturdy, with covers replaced in 2022, featuring a sink, a table, and benches for 8 people. It serves as the helm station. The onboard electronics are recent: 2 engine screens, a 12-inch Garmin touchscreen GPS, a latest-generation hydraulic autopilot, VHF, and radio station.
The engines are two Cummins QSB 6.7 (960 HP total, less than 50 hours, still under warranty - new and installed in 12/2023), with treated prop shafts and revised reversers. Max speed: 26 knots, comfortable cruising at 12-14 knots + a powerful bow thruster with joystick makes port maneuvers easier.
The technical equipment is up to date: the 4 flaps actuators were replaced a year and a half ago; all through-hulls are bronze, and the underwater lights are recent. No costs expected below the waterline.
At anchor, the autonomy is excellent: Victron lithium batteries (12V), complemented by discreet 1000 W solar panels, a generator, and engine alternators. This allows very limited generator use.
The windlass and chain are new (90m, 1200W, stainless steel anchor).
At the aft swim platform, there is a hydraulic platform that descends into the water, greatly easing the launching of the dinghy. (and also allows sunbathing in the water, but less marketable…)
The boat is also equipped with a 120 L/h desalination system, an 11 KVA 230V generator (overhauled), a ventilated Liebherr professional refrigerator, a microwave oven with grill, and electric cooktop plates.
Electricity is supplied in 12V and 230V.
Gasoil tank of 1800 liters and freshwater tank of 500 liters + a 120 L/h desalination system.
