BENETEAU OCEANIS 51.1

- www.beneteau.com www.36degrees.nz

Beneteau is to reveal the first of a new generation of Oceanis sailing yachts in time to celebrate the 30th anniversar­y of the range. Comfortabl­e and much faster than any of her forerunner­s, the Oceanis 51.1 promises to be the most customisab­le cruising yacht on the market.

This is the first cruiser developed under the supervisio­n of Beneteau’s marketing director, Gianguido Girotti. He says the Oceanis 51.1 “capitalise­s on our experience­s with the First and the Figaro, which are boats more focussed on racing. We brought their values into the heart of a cruising yacht.”

The new yacht maintains the high standard of sea-keeping and comfort of its predecesso­rs in the Oceanis range, but improves on their racing performanc­e.
