Lady Grey – Owners' Notes
November 2023
Welcome aboard Lady Grey!
Dear Guests,
Lady Grey, our 2016 Beneteau Oceanis 45 will be an amazing choice for your cruising adventure. When we
found her, we discovered the perfect San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands cruiser. We know that like us, you will
cherish every day aboard her.
SAILING: Lady Grey is a delightful to sail, and it's easy to move her along in light air, which is common in the
depth of San Juan summers. A furling main and genoa make deploying and reefing the sails easy, with all lines
led directly to the cockpit.
HANDLING: Lady Grey has a modern hull with wide stern sections that increase interior volume and reduce
heel. Lady Grey has a deep single spade rudder and a 7ft 2in deep keel. Bow thrusters make docking in small
marinas surprisingly easy.
CABIN: Lady Grey has a spacious salon with three cabins and two heads, both equipped with electric toilets and
showers. All beds are queen-sized and the salon settee converts to a fourth berth. Both heads have separately
screened showers. The galley has a three-burner gas stove and oven, microwave, sink, refrigerator/freezer, and
a complete complement of cooking tools, spices and accessories. The large dining table and expansive wine-
storage match the French origins of our beautiful Beneteau.
COCKPIT: The expansive cockpit features a large drop-leaf table. Twin helms allow for outboard steering and
clear sightlines forward. The electric swim deck provides access to the dinghy and is a great spot to hang your
feet in the water. Engine controls are on the port side, and the B&G multi-function display (MFD) chart plotter
pivots, so it's easily visible from either helm. An all-season dodger and bimini keep you warm and dry; full
cockpit enclosures are available upon request.
ELECTRONICS & ENTERTAINMENT: Lady Grey features a state-of-the-art navigation and instrument system,
making your travels easy and safe. She's equipped with B&G's Zeus2 12" full-color touchscreen chartplotter and
multi-function display (MFD), B&G's patented SailSteer system, B&G's Triton2 multi-function display and
autopilot, radar and AIS. The MFD supports multiple panels on one screen to customize the information
presented. It includes tide and current displays, photo overlays, sun and moon charts, and many more useful
features. A FUSION audio system with Bluetooth and USB connections lets you enjoy your favorite music
throughout the boat. Books and games are available in the salon, and there are warm throws for late-night
stargazing in the cockpit.
ENGINE: Her 57hp Yanmar engine and SD-60 saildrive has plenty of power. Lady Grey has a 53-gallon fuel tank,
providing a cruising range of 375+ nautical miles.
Lady Grey has given our family a lifetime of memories as we have sailed her through the San Juans. Sitting at
anchor watching the sun set, gliding along with whales and sharing laughter with new friends on the dock have
left an indelible mark in our lives. We know she will give you even more moments of peace and joy.
Wishing you wonder and restoration!
Dana and Brenda Anderson
