Description
A Proven Cruiser with Comfort, Capability & Coastal Spirit
Prairie Rose IV is a well‑loved example of the popular Beneteau Oceanis 351—one of the most successful cruising designs of the 1990s. Known for their bright interiors, generous accommodations, and forgiving sailing characteristics, the 351 series remains a favourite among coastal cruisers who want comfort without sacrificing sailing performance. This particular vessel features a practical two‑cabin layout, in‑mast furling, a reliable Perkins diesel, and the amenities needed for extended cruising in the Pacific Northwest.
In-mast furling with foresail roller furling
Walk-through transom onto the swim platform
Two private cabins with a huge aft cabin berth
Lots of tools and extras
Rigid hull inflatable tender with 2.5hp outboard
Prairie Rose IV represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well‑designed, comfortable coastal cruiser with strong fundamentals. The January 2026 survey identifies a number of maintenance items—typical for a vessel of this age—but nothing that detracts from her core value as a capable, spacious, and enjoyable sailing yacht. It's priced well below other 351s recently sold to account for the costs associated with the maintenance items that need to be addressed.
With attention to working lines, lighting, canvas, and various other items, she will be ready for many more seasons exploring the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, and beyond.
