The Oceanis 400 hull is renowned for its balanced sailing characteristics, making it comfortable offshore while remaining responsive at the helm. Below deck, Simply Southern welcomes you with a bright and spacious interior. The main salon features an inviting layout that’s perfect for living aboard, with long, comfortable settees and a dining table that serves well for meals, charting, or evening drinks after a day on the water. Large portlights and hatches flood the space with natural light, creating an airy ambiance often lacking in boats of this vintage. The galley is designed for practical use at sea, offering ample counter space, storage, and easy access to all essentials for extended cruising. It's a functional space where cooking underway feels effortless. Simply Southern also provides private cabins both forward and aft, equipped with comfortable berths and storage, making her an excellent choice for couples, families, or friends cruising together. The two-head layout is particularly convenient for longer journeys or liveaboard scenarios. On the systems front, Simply Southern comes equipped with essential features for a capable cruiser, including a reliable diesel engine, modern navigation electronics like GPS, chartplotter, and autopilot, as well as a davit system with a tender for easy shore excursions. The logical layout and good access to systems simplify ownership and maintenance, reducing stress compared to more complicated designs. What truly sets Simply Southern apart is her rare ability to be spacious enough for comfortable cruising while remaining approachable for an owner-operator. She prioritizes reliability, comfort, and enjoyment over flashiness, and she accomplishes that with ease. Seller Notes: The owner plans to haul Simply Southern in the Spring for a fresh bottom paint application, ensuring she's ready for the upcoming season. The interior is in excellent condition with solid wood throughout and no cheap veneer, while the deck has no significant gelcoat cracks. A solid fiberglass dinghy is included. For anyone in search of a proven 40-foot cruising sailboat with a respected pedigree, exceptional sailing capabilities, and a practical layout, Simply Southern is a compelling opportunity.
