Bianca 360

Four years later, the current owner took over the Bianca. Since then, she has been cherished and cared for. You can see yourself reflected in the hull (it has only been waxed, never polished), you could eat out of the bilge and the woods inside are anything but worn out. A very well-maintained ship.

The Bianca 360 is well built and easy to handle. All lines are diverted into the cockpit, six self-tailing Andersen winches and the autopilot support the sailor. The engine runs very well and quietly, the sails and lines are in good condition and you just can't tell the boat is old. This well-equipped vessel easily accommodates 5 people in the cockpit and is very easy to maintain due to the non-existent teak deck.

There are plenty of sleeping berths. Either in the bow or in one of the two aft cabins. The spacious saloon also accommodates additional guests for cosy evenings below deck. A compressor cooler in the galley provides cool drinks and the three-burner cooker with oven provides hot meals. Hot and cold water is available at all taps, even for showering at the bathing platform. A fixed bathing ladder is also fitted to this. Of course, there is also a diesel hot-air heater on board for cooler days.

The engine is a Yanmar 3 cylinder diesel. Dual circuit cooled, reliable and economical. The filters and oil were changed every year. A water separator with diesel pre-filter additionally clean the fuel, so the unit has only consumed clean diesel. It runs!

There is no repair backlog. The owner has constantly maintained the ship. Everything on board works. Recently, the steering wheel has been reupholstered, the toilet pump replaced, the UV protection of the genoa renewed and the diesel tank cleaned. Is there anything to do? Not really. Due to the age of the diesel heater, it might be due for a service in the next few years. Otherwise - let's go.

The ship is handed over with fresh anodes and a new antifouling coat, ready to sail in the water.
