Overview
A classic Moody Carbineer 46 pilothouse ketch, rarely available on the market and highly sought after. These versatile cruising yachts should be viewed to appreciate the quality and space on offer. Beatrice B has been heavily upgraded during the last few seasons including:

- Holding tank
- Full engine overhaul
- Bow thruster
- Davits
- Raymarine instruments and autopilot

Great for liveaboard or bluewater cruising with a moderate draft for local cruising too.

Accommodation
The spacious accommodation offers six berths in three cabins with good headroom throughout. The saloon could also be adapted to offer another double berth. Although currently configured to offer a large number of single berths, the aft cabin and fore cabin could easily be altered to offer double berths if preferred.
WHEELHOUSE SALOON: L-shaped seating area with a table to port (this could be adapted to convert to a double berth) with helm and navigation equipment forward. To starboard is a small settee, entertainment unit, and storage in various cupboards and drawers. Opening hatches and lots of windows add to the feeling of space, and walkways lead aft to the owner's cabin and forward to the galley, heads, and guest cabins.
GALLEY: Located to port and open to the wheelhouse, is a U-shaped galley equipped with a Plastimo Neptune stainless steel 2-burner gas cooker with oven and grill (new 2010), microwave, twin stainless steel sinks, fridge, and ample storage in various drawers and cupboards.
HEADS: Forward to starboard is the main heads compartment fitted with a marine toilet, wash basin, and shower with additional stowage cupboards.
MID GUEST CABIN: Fitted with single berths to port and starboard, hanging locker, and good storage in various drawers.
FORWARD CABIN: Designed to be used as additional accommodation and currently offering two single berths, it could easily be adapted to offer a double berth, additional storage, used as a sail stowage area, or provide space for liveaboard equipment.
AFT CABIN: A walkway with lockers leads down to the owner's aft cabin which currently offers generous single berths either side of a central dressing table. An ensuite to port is equipped with a Jabsco electric marine heads (new 2013), basin, and shower with further stowage space.
