“Cruising,” sporty or unconventional. Three top 11/12-meter boats

In a physical boat show it is easy to get lost…you struggle to find what you are looking for. Not so in our digital salon, Milan Yachting Week. Every day we give you new visiting insights–like today’s.

We went hunting for sailboats between 11 and 12 meters, an ideal size to have a comfortable, versatile boat that allows you day trips but also cruises. And finally that it can also become a “house by the sea.”

Here’s what we found for you today, browsing online among the docks of the sailboat harbor. To be visited immediately.

1. Beneteau’s Oceanis 40.1 (12.87 meters)

FIND IT HERE.

The cruiser to experience the boat all year round

You’ve arrived at the roadstead, dropped anchor, opened the swim platform and enjoyed the day. You are aboard a lady cruiser, a boat that allows you to have fun under sail and sail fast under motor. A truly perfect 12-meter “cruising” boat. A safe hull that tackles even rough seas safely, sailing not only bound by speed but also by maximum comfort. And then space, lots of space, as in a real house. It is the ideal boat for those who want to experience boating all the time, all year round.

2. Dehler’s 38 SQ (m. 11.64)

FIND IT HERE.

The sports car that is also a comfortable cruising boat

Speed and Quality, this stands for SQ which is in the German shipyard’s model abbreviation. And this boat, a first for Milan Yachting Week, respects these concepts. Dehler 38 SQ perfectly represents the new generation of performance cruisers , boats that are as comfortable cruising as a true “blue water” cruiser, yet capable of exhilarating sailing performance. And, to top it off, very easy to maneuver even for a crew of only two people. To give you an example of the performance that Dehler 38 SQ can achieve, without penalizing comfort: with 12 knots of wind it spins at over 7 knots! Last note, it also has a great line. To be visited immediately.

3. Allures 40.9 in Allures (m. 12.65)

FIND IT HERE.

The unconventional that takes you to the ends of the earth

She doesn’t look like any other. The Allures 40.9 is the boat that wasn’t there, here’s how the yard describes it, “Berret-Racoupeau designers have designed a modern hull by combining the proverbial solidity of aluminum with width, power and maximum waterline length. Thus, more efficient and performing, the Allures 40.9 is free to take you to the ends of the earth as well. Gliding under the mythical trade winds, reaching paradise islands, roaming the fjords of Scandinavia… The large storage capacity and capacious diesel tank also ensure perfect autonomy for ever greater freedom.” Interesting, isn’t it?
