A year after the launch of the Oceanis 51.1, the French yard presents the new Beneteau Oceanis 46.1.
The Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 is based on a drawing by Finot-Conq. This is a major development of the line, with a shape widening to the bow, freeing up relevantย interior space without altering the performance under sail.
The amount of space on deck and inside, as well as the particularly clever choice of fittings, all in an italian style by Nauta Design, set the Oceanis 46.1 apart.
Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 – The deck
Equipped as standard with an in-mastย furling system and a self-tailing jib, all the halyards and sheets lead back to two winches on either sideย of the helm station.
As for the choice of a twin rudder system with a fiber steering, it gives you good controlย under sail. The different rigging plans and wide range of options mean thatย each sailing yacht can be customized.
The large cockpit table is designed for up to eight people and also cleverly houses the life raft. Maneuversย have been made easier by grouping the winches at the helm, creating a large space to unwind on eitherย side of the companionway.
The aft of the Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 hits the same note of comfort. A single step separates the cockpit from the swim platform, affording easy access to the sea.
Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 – The interiors
The owner cabin features a separate shower and head and is worthy of a much bigger yacht (160 x 205 cm double bed accessible from either side).
In the three cabin version, the guest rooms aft of the companionway are the same size and strikingly bright thanks to a large hull porthole and two deck hatches.
With a five-cabin offer, two galley layouts (L or lengthwise) and a wide choice of options, the Oceanis 46.1 has also everything chartering companies could hope for.
