Champagne on Ice

Reading this specification

Champagne on Ice is published as Beneteau Oceanis 46, a monohull operated by Blue Water Sailing Port Stephens out of Corlette, NSW. As a monohull she will heel under sail, point higher than a catamaran, and move more kindly in a seaway once there is weight in the boat. She will also draw more, which rules out some shallow anchorages.

The operator does not publish a guest number for this vessel, which is why the capacity field above is marked for confirmation rather than filled with a guess. A vessel commonly carries a day-passenger limit, a lower offshore limit and a lower again count of usable overnight berths, and only the survey certificate settles which applies to your route. No cabin count is published, which usually means she is configured for day use.

What the specification cannot tell you is the part that decides the week: boarding geometry for an older guest, whether the air conditioning runs at anchor or only on shore power, how much shade the cockpit actually has at two in the afternoon, and whether the photographs are of this hull or a sister ship. Those are questions for the operator, and the list below is the short version.
