Description
Bright Star – 1995 Beneteau Oceanis 321
Volvo Penta MD2030 Diesel | Two Cabins
Origin Yachts presents “Bright Star”, a 1995 Beneteau Oceanis 321 powered by a Volvo Penta MD2030 diesel engine. Offering a two-cabin layout, she presents well for her age and benefits from a detailed ownership and maintenance history, regular winter storage ashore and a range of recent improvements.
In her current ownership since August 2015, Bright Star has received ongoing attention to her engine, stern gear, rig and onboard systems. Her standing rigging was replaced in September 2015, followed by a new Crusader mainsail and genoa in December of that year.
Recent upgrades include an electric anchor capstan, a 260Ah LiFePO₄ domestic battery with a 20A DC–DC charger, new rudder bushes and a new Vetus throttle and gear control mechanism.
Accommodation
Bright Star offers a two-cabin accommodation layout, providing separate sleeping spaces for owners and guests.

Her Volvo Penta MD2030 diesel underwent an overhaul by Power Plus of Cowes in September 2016, including replacement valve caps, rocker arms, gaskets and exhaust elbow.
The owner’s maintenance record details annual replacement of engine filters, impeller, oil and coolant since 2015, with belts, anodes and batteries replaced as required. Further work includes:
• New cutlass bearing in March 2017.
