Beneteau Oceanis 34.1

DELIGHT IN DESIGNSleeker, lighter, with more sail area and more volume in the bow for the master cabin than its predecessor, the new Oceanis 34.1 sets a new standard of excellence for sailing yachts in the 35-foot range, a stunning combination of style, spirit, and comfort. From the drawing board of famed naval architect Mark Lombard, she is an embodiment of modern hull design, and the collaboration with Nauta Design for the deck and interior layouts has produced a yacht of such graceful proportions and irreproachable uses of spaces and volumes that it might best be described with one word: perfect.CUSTOM-DESIGNED DECK, BALLAST AND RIGGINGLife on board with family or friends has always been the core focus of all Oceanis designs, and the Oceanis 34.1 is the perfect example of this approach, providing the promise of safe cruising experiences aboard a boat that is easy to handle no matter who is aboard. Select the standard equipment (Easy Sail) for basic navigation: a conventional 334 sq/ft mainsail and 197 sq/ft self- tacking jib. The perfect configuration for doublehanded sailing, or when enjoying the boat with an inexperienced crew. An optional in-mast furling system is also available. More experienced sailors will opt for the upgraded rigging packs which include a bowsprit for downwind sails, extra winches and a 26m² furling genoa for longer cruises.THE ILLUSION OF 35 FEETEven a cursory glance at the renderings reveals that La Rochelle-based architect Mark Lombard has surpassed himself once again, with this flared hull design and long chine running aft that provide greater interior spaces yet guarantee a high-quality cruising experience. These choices give the 7th generation of Oceanis yachts a strong visual identity that downloads itself to the experience of actually being under sail. Narrow waterline entries, a lower angle of heel and a hull that rests on the chine s will always deliver unrivalled comfort and stability on the water.THE PERFECT COMBINATIONIn both versions, the interiors are bright and airy, with four deck hatches and four hull portholes guaranteeing loads of natural light and ventilation throughout the cabin. The starboard L-shaped galley, the head compartment to port, the large full-beam salon with two sofas and a large table for convivial dining ensure maximum cruising comfort for up to 8 passengers. In addition to the cabins, there are 2 single berths, one of which is cleverly tucked under the folding chart table.Features may include:TRUE COMFORT, WORTHY OF THE GREATEST BOATSThese options are further enhanced by a choice of elegant finishes in oak or walnut, perfectly complemented by a beautiful fabric selection with optional seat upholstery.A SPACIOUS, CONTEMPORARY STYLE COCKPITThe uncluttered deck plan has been specifically designed to provide maximum comfort and safety when moving about the boat, whether you are taking the helm or settling down for a few evenings at anchor. As you would expect, all lines conveniently lead to perfectly placed winches. The result is a cockpit that functions equally well as the yacht’s control center and a prime space for relaxation. Lastly, the lack of backstay provides easy access to the large swim platform.A HIGH-PERFORMANCE BOATMarc Lombard’s team has taken the design of the new-generation hulls one step further, adding extra width to a third of the bow for better close-hauled pitch control and a more stable helm when heeling. Less underwater area improves the boat’s performance and ensures pleasurable sailing in lightwind and medium conditions.Contact us via phone at 410-867-9550 or email [email protected] More
