One of the most eagerly awaited boats by cruise passengers was finally unveiled to the public, making its world premiere at the Genoa Boat Show. We are talking about theOceanis 40.1, the 12-meter addition to the French shipyard’s range.
L‘Oceanis 40.1 brings with it some of the DNA of the First sportsmen of the 2000s and some of the more classic Oceanis philosophy. This is how Beneteau in recent seasons decided to rethink the range dedicated to pure cruising and chartering, and the 40.1 is in a way a synthesis of the process started with the new generation Oceanis.
The signature chosen for the project is Marc Lombard, and this is no accident, while the interiors are by Italian archistars Nauta Design.
The French designer, in addition to having previously designed boats for Beneteau, was one of the forerunners for ocean open designs and has always brought something of his experience on sport boats to cruising boats as well. Therefore, from the Oceanis 40.1 one should not only expect comfort, which is indispensable after all on a boat like this, but also interesting sailing qualities. In fact, the shipyard offers a number of customization options that can steer the boat one way or the other: three different keel versions, one with a shallow draft, one standard and the performance one that pushes the draft up to 2.27 meters, plus two different sail plans. The standard one from Performance differs in the height of the tree, which is 45 cm higher in the latter case. For a decisive change in gear under canvas, coupling the Performance draught to the increased rigging is the right choice to ensure a significantly more agile boat even in light winds, as the difference is 4 square meters compared to the standard sail plan and almost 10 compared to the version with furling mainsail and self-tacking jib.
Our contributor Mauro Giuffrè was on board for a tour of the exterior and below deck.
