BENETEAU – OCEANIS 40.1 and OCEANIS YACHT 54

BENETEAU – OCEANIS 40.1 and OCEANIS YACHT 54 -The joy of sailing, the  pleasure of living on the water, the  satisfaction of putting to sea on a beautifully crafted yacht – all brought to you  by the two new Oceanis cruisers, which have made  a considerable impression at  the  beginning of 2020 !

The Ocean is 40.1 distinguishes itself  with a surprising amount of space on deck  and volume below, while the Oceanis Yacht  54 reinvents movement in  the   cockpit and  sets  a  new  standard  in  terms of  build  guality, ergonomics, and  trim  options. Both  yachts display  the signature Oceanis features that  continue to redefine the pleasures of the cruising  life.

OCEANIS  YACHT  54:  EXCLUSIVE TRIMS AND  EASY MOVEMENT ABOARD

The Ocean is Yacht  54, younger sister  of the  Ocean is 62,  embodies the  innovation that has always been  a hallmark of   the    Beneteau  brand,   while   continuing  to   remain    loyal  to   the   Yacht    range   ethos:   elegance,  luxurious accomodations, and  unrivaled  performance. Capitalizing on  experience gained  with  the  enormously popular  Oceanis range,  as well as  the  trend-setting  new First   Yacht   53,  her   architects,  Roberto  Biscontini   and   Lorenzo   Argento,  have  created  a  masterpiece  that seamlessly blends form  and function into  a yacht that is exhilarating under  sail, easy  to shorthand, and comfortable both at sea and in port.

The  Oceanis Yacht 54 paves the  way for  a  new generation of  cruisers by completely reinventing the traditional central cockpit into a space that allows for free flowing  movement, ample  seating areas,  and safety throughout. The yacht features cutting-edge  technology such   as  Ship  Control  (a  simple   interface that  accesses all  the   boat’s systems); Dock&Go Qoystick  harbor-side maneuvering); and  Harken’s AST (automatic sail trimming), all of which firmly set  BENETEAU at the  vanguard of the industry and  meets passionate sailors’ high levels of expectations.

AN  INNOVATIVE COCKPIT LAYOUT  MAKING MOVEMENT EASY AND SAFE.

By incorporating a standard feature of the  Oceanis range  – the  mainsail arch  – the  OY54’s cockpit is completely open, allowing for intuitive movement, comfort, and  space;  indeed, the  flush  cockpit occupies more  than  a third  of the  full deck  area.  Passage from  the  companionway down  the  centerline to the side-decks is absolutely unimpeded, and  transit to  the  foredeck is made  safe  by the  boat’s high  bulwarks and  lifelines, as well as the  generous width of the  catwalks.

Access to the  sea  is provided  by the  expansive  swim  platform, which , once deployed, reveals  the  space   below the cockpit to stow away a 2.4 m inflatable tender. Cruising really comes into  its own on the  Oceanis Yacht  54, with all sheets and  halyards   run  aft  of  the  cockpit  seats, leaving a clean  area  for  rest  and  relaxation. The  sunpad   on  the foredeck is likely to be the most  popular  spot  on the  boat

EASY MANOEUVRES WITH “EASY SAILING”

To simplify  manoeuvres both  at  the  harbor and  underway, BENETEAU has eguipped the  Oceanis Yacht 54 with the   invaluable   Easy  Sailing  navigational   aids.  Ship  Control is standard on  the   yacht and  provides   user-friendly intuitive  control of  all the   boat  data   and  components (batteries, tanks,  engines, lighting,  etc.). The  well-proven Dock   &  Go   system  is  also  available   to   facilitate  engine-powered   manoeuvres  in  a  limited   space,  using   a straightforward joystick control  which  operates a  bow drive  and  a 360°  rotating saildrive  pod. You  can  use  the amazing Harken AST (assisted sail trim) to trim  the  sails automatically in line with the apparent wind and  trim  the jib when you  need  to change tack. The AST system is controlled from a display in the  cockpit.

The  Oceanis Yacht  54, destined for  the  cruising  life, is available  with  two  different draughts (2.5 mas standard,

1.95 m  on  option) and  two  types   of  masts   (standard  or  in-furling).  In  both   cases,  Easy  Sailing  will make  all manoeuvres much easier, so that the  crew can focus on the real pleasure  of sailing.

LIGHT OAK OR WALNUT INTERIOR WITH THREE CABINS

Lorenzo  Argento’s watchword in designing this  yacht was  to  create a  warm  modern atmosphere with  as  much natural  light and ventilation as possible. The Oceanis Yacht  54’s interior layout  offers  a chart desk  and large saloon table  which  easily accommodates six adults. The  interior can  be built in two different wood tones, light  oak or the more traditional walnut. In terms of layout, two versions are available: three cabins  and  two  heads, or three cabins  and  three heads  with an extra-large forward   master cabin,  in which  it is easy  to  walk around  the  double  bed  (1.6  m  wide). The  trim  show great attention to  detail,  such  as the top  <luality upholstery, wood  linings,  riddles  and  lighting,  making  this 17m sailing yacht ideal for  cruising Lastly,  the   numerous storage areas   have  been  optimized: tanks  and  service areas  are  easily  accessible and  their location  has been  studied to improve weight  distribution, illustrating that every detail  of Oceanis Yacht  54 has been meticulously thought out to ensure that the  crew  is one  with the craft and  the  sea.

OCEANIS  40.1:12 METRES AND SO MUCH SPACE!

The Ocean is 40.1 follows in the  wake of her elder  sister  the Ocean is 51.1) which) upon  its launch  in 2017,  marked  a new era  of cruisers by BENETEAU. The  volumes and  space  on  deck  and  inside  are  unprecedented) but  with  the new Marc  Lombard  hull design, no concessions have  been  made  to performance. Additionally, the  Oceanis 40.1 is available  in different layouts, draughts and  rigs, to meet the  re<luirements of the  most  demanding sailors, in terms of  comfort and  sailing  pleasure. For  families,  couples, friends, young people  and  old salts,  this  versatile new 12- meter cruiser is perfectly adaptable to fit your  cruising  needs!

How can  you  blend comfort and  performance? In other words) how can  you  be as happy  at anchor as you are  under sail? With  the  innovative flared   hull  design   of  the  Oceanis 40.1, and  steps extending over  a third  of  the  bow, BENETEAU has made  no sacrifices. The  result  is stiff  hull with great speed  potential yet  a poised and comfortable ride in any  conditions. Above the  waterline, the  deck  plan and  ultra-spacious interior by  Nauta   Design  is simply unheard of on a boat this size. The result  is the  unmistakable feeling you are aboard  a much  larger yacht.

AN  OCEAN IS 40.1 WITH SOMETHING FOR  EVERYONE

As there is no one  way to sail, and  because everyone cruises at their own pace,  this  recent addition  to the Oceanis line comes in several  versions. Sailors  keen  on  performance can  choose the First  Line version, with a longer  mast and a greater draught. The in-mast furling system and self-tackingjib will make  shorthanded manoeuvring easier. A standard mast for a semi  full battened mainsail is also available.

In terms of accommodations, the  Ocean is 40.1 comes in 4 different versions, with a choice of two  basic types of woodwork as standard: walnut  or floated oak. The  many  alternatives and  options to customize your  boat  ensure there is an Oceanis 40.1 for  each  and every  sailor.

EASY TO SAIL AND SPACIOUS ON DECK

The flared  hull increases the  area  on the  fore  deck. This makes for  a better flow of movement and  makes  anchoring or  mooring easier.  The  cockpit is guite large,  much   bigger  than   on  its  predecessor, the   Oceanis 41.1, and  on competitors’ boats  of the  same size. It is ingeniously laid out  to  allow for a clear  demarcation between active  and relaxation  spaces. These are the strengths of this new 40 foot cruiser.

Lines and  halyards lead aft  to  the  two  helm  stations now further to the  rear,  leaving space  for a large cockpit table for  6 guests, under which  is a dedicated space for  the  life raft_ The  two long  L-shaped benches on  either side  are unobstructed, as the halyard  winches  and  mainsail sheets are on the coachroof.

She  has angled  coamings, a low coach roof, and clear  side decks  making it easy to walk from the bow to the transom. If you  want to go swimming, the  transom converts to an electrically (optional) or manually operated  swim platform. Whoever is  steering  under   sail  will love  the   twin   rudders  with  textile  linkage  to  the wheels,   which   provide unparalleled comfort  and   precision   in  all  conditions. The  stemhead  guarantees  maximum   efficiency  for   the downwind  sails and for  handling the anchor and chain.

INTERIOR VOLUME AND  NATURAL LIGHT

The  Oceanis 40.1 comes in 4 different versions with  two,  three, and  four  cabins  to fit everyone’s idea  of  life on board.  Couples and  large  families  will feel  like they are  at  home! The  owner  version   has a  master cabin  with an ensuite shower. The  four-cabin version  keeps  a cabin  with a double bed, and  an additional cabin  with  bunk  beds. With  a walnut  or oak  base,  the  styling  of the interior by Italian designers Nauta, in Milan, excels  in its remarkable brightness and clever  arrangement of living spaces.

A C-shaped galley on the  starboard provides  lots of storage and a spacious countertop. On the  port side, there is a large salon together with table and  removable bench, and the  table  at the foot of the  companionway provides ample working  space  and  lots of storage. You cannot help  but  notice the  feeling  of space, yet  nothing is set  in stone, so that everyone can  live the  way  they want  and  enjoy  sailing  wherever the wind  takes them_  The  many  hull  and coachroof portholes, two  of  which  look towards the  cockpit, and  the  hatches fill the  boat  with  natural  light  and ventilation, making  her exceptionally bright.

True to form, the  focus  of the new Oceanis range  is comfort and easy  manoeuvring. Following the new generation of Oceanis 51.1, 46.1  and 30.1  cruisers, the  40.1 drives the  concept home  and  clearly  demonstrates  BENETEAU’s resolve  to  be  the leader  and  the   gold  standard of  the cruising  yacht market. Through constantly searching to simplify  manoeuvres and  make  movement on deck  easier,  BENETEAU has reached a new milestone and achieved a much  higher  trim  level. The new Oceanis wave has begun!
