OCEANIS 51.1 – THE POWER OF A NEW GENERATION – LE GRAND LARGE

Beneteau Oceanis 51

 

June 30, 2017

Beneteau will shortly reveal the first of a new generation of Oceanis sailing yachts and they will be shown for the first time internationally to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the range. Incredibly comfortable and much faster than any of her forerunners, the Oceanis 51.1 promises to be bang on trend and the most customizable cruising yacht on the market.

The first cruiser developed under the supervision of Beneteau’s marketing director, GianguidoGirotti, epitomizes the exuberant energy of a new generation! Although the high level of sea-keeping and comfort that forged the reputation of this leading range is still present, Beneteau has turned their racing performances to advantage, to enhance the Oceanis 51.1: “We capitalized on our experiences with the First and the Figaro, which are boats that are more focused on racing. We brought their values into the heart of a cruising yacht”. From bow to stem, indoors and on deck, at anchor and at sail, the Oceanis 51.1 is elegant, smart, comfortable and performs majestically.
