SAIL REVIEW | BENETEAU OCEANIS 40.1
A LOT OF BOAT
PACKED INTO 40
FEET
By | Zuzana Prochazka
S
ailing seems to have become about
size. More and more couples are
buying big, perhaps thinking they
can't cruise on anything under 50 feet and
I've seen relative newbies plunking down
cash for a 60-footer. I have no idea what
they will do with the boat in a blow, or
even with all that space at the dock. In my
mind, a perfect couple's cruiser is right
around 40 feet and if it happens to feel
bigger and have more gear aboard, well
that's just terrific.
Beneteau has caught onto this idea of
smaller may be better. They just introduced another model in their Oceanis
line, a potentially ideal couple's cruiser

that follows in the design footsteps of
the 46.1. For me, the new Oceanis 40.1
is like Goldilocks finding her perfectly
sized chair. It has everything two people,
or a small family need, but it still sails and
looks like a boat that is ten feet longer.
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
This Marc Lombard design fills out the
" .1 " line that Beneteau started with the
51.1. The solid fiberglass hull is flared
forward and topped by a low coachroof
up top. The bow and transom are plumb.
A composite sprit extends a couple of feet
forward, integrating the bow roller that
tucks the anchor neatly below. The side

decks are fairly narrow and all lines are
led aft. Below the waterline, you will find
twin rudders and your choice of keel draft:
5'6 " or 7' 1 " .
RIGGING
The 9/10s fractional rig consists of a
deck-stepped, Z-Spar aluminum mast
with an air draft of 60'2 " . Twin spreaders
angle sharply aft and there's a split backstay. The standard sail area is 751 square
feet split between a self-tacking jib and
a large furling mainsail, but you can add
another 658 square feet with the Code 0
that can be used comfortably even on a
beam reach. A rigid vang is standard and
