She has spent much of her life in the Pacific Northwest under the care of very attentive owners. She is actively sailed in the summer season, then stored for the winter under full cover with canvas and sails removed. Her gelcoat sparkles and her the condition of her beautiful interior woodwork appears as a much newer boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring her ownership, DISCOVERY is inspected on a bi-weekly basis to check systems, run engine, generator and confirm proper condition. Every winter she undergoes various maintenance needs, systems upgrades and repairs. She is hauled out every spring for detailed cleaning, hull compound, wax, bottom paint, and new anodes. Throughout the year the hull and bottom are scrubbed 2-3 times while in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWebasto diesel cabin heat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew AGM batteries in 2025 and recent Mastervolt inverter\/charger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew thruster batteries (2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew dripless shaft seal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHigh output alternator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNorthern Lights generator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOffshore 6-person Life raft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh full cockpit enclosure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew (2025) RIB dinghy on KATO davits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBow thruster\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swiftsure Yachts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47760162357411,"sku":null,"price":349000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6271\/5299\/files\/DSC_7321.jpg?v=1781072461","url":"https:\/\/swiftsureyachts.com\/products\/oyster-485-discovery","provider":"Swiftsure Yachts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
