New Boat Review: Beneteau Oceanis 41

Beneteau’s newest cruiser blends innovative design, stylish form, and impressive performance..

Photos courtesy of Beneteau and by Ralph Naranjo

Beneteau has been building sailboats for 120 years, but it’s unlikely that patriarch Benjamin Beneteau ever envisioned his boatyard becoming a vertically integrated company with more than 4,500 employees. Nor could he have imagined that three-dimensional, computer-aided design would drive a five-axis robotic shaper that could turn design ideas into tangible hull shapes sans shipwrights. However, he did see the staying power of sailing and knew it would stand the test of time.

Beneteau’s sheer size affords an opportunity for significant research and development, and designers get to interface directly with the production team throughout the boatbuilding process. There’s also a scale of economy factor that’s best demonstrated by the 300-person crew working at Beneteau’s expansive woodshop in Vendee, France. The facility fabricates and finishes interiors for Beneteaus built all over the world.

Today, the multinational company relies on an in-house design team, plus a stable of top yacht designers who remain on call. The result is that Beneteau has become a trendsetter even in tough economic times, and part of this success lies in its differentiated two-tier (race and cruise) approach to boatbuilding. By offering different boats to racers and cruisers, the world’s largest production boatbuilder more effectively caters to the needs of each market. This has served the company well for decades. For example, the Oceanis line of cruisers was birthed in the 1980s, and the current series offers a whole new array of design attributes.

The Oceanis 41 features a new hull shape and a new cruising perspective—a design that focuses on style, comfort, and ease of operation. It’s clearly an effort to make mid-size cruising boats more user-friendly than ever before, and to achieve that end in distinctly European styling.

Beneteau’s marketing literature for the Oceanis 41 boasts eye-catching, flat-water, point-to-point sailing and a luxury cruising lifestyle. Missing are photos of the guys with wornout sweatshirts and week-old beards slogging into a cold gray sea. Cabin photos brim with countertop knick-knacks and long-stem wine glasses that would scatter like pins in a bowling alley when the first gust hit. However, after sailing the boat ourselves and getting a feel for this brand new, wide-body sloop, Practical Sailor testers walked away far more impressed by the boat than by its marketers’ depiction.

Designer Finot-Conq skillfully distributed the new boat’s volume, placed the rig and foils exactly where they hydro-dynamically belonged, and revised the deck layout. Looking at the waterline footprint, topside flair, and profile of the Oceanis 41 reveals some of the not-so-subtle changes in canoe-body design. For instance, a chine-like edge interrupts the smooth curve of the topsides. Affectionately known as the “kink,” it appears throughout the Oceanis line, and its fore and aft run acts as a water release when the boat is heeled and beating to weather. It’s certainly an aesthetic change to the smooth compound curves and flares seen in the topsides of earlier Beneteaus, and its performance-enhancing potential will be a topic of conversation for some time.

Another notable design change is the sailboat’s wedge-like shape and the distinct trend in carrying near max beam all the way aft to the transom. This feature almost begs for a twin rudder approach to steering. Interestingly, rather than adding a second rudder, Beneteau used a deep, semi-balanced spade rudder. It effectively resists cavitation and the inevitable broach, until you are so overpowered that you deserve the big surprise that comes with a spin out. Even then, the Oceanis is well behaved as it politely rotates into the wind without a neck snapping auto tack.

The Oceanis’ kink and wide beam carried aft are traits that first arose in modern race boats, and it’s a trend that adds form stability, increasing the amount of sail-carrying capacity. It also adds space both below and above deck. The new 41 comes in deep (6 feet, 9 inches) and shallow (5 feet, 1 inch) draft versions, and those planning on longer-range offshore sailing, or those who simply prefer better windward ability in a cruising boat, are much better off with the deep-draft alternative.

Beneteau has a penchant for detailed engineering, and the new Oceanis line has gone through quite a bit of R&D. The company also shows an inclination for retaining what works and evolving good ideas. Like its siblings, the Oceanis 41 shows a lot of this tried and proven lineage, especially in construction scan’tlings, but it also has taken some bold new strides. For example, the recent advent of the pod-type, rotating sail drive links up with the bow thruster to create what Beneteau calls the “Dock and Go” system. This optional, joystick-actuated feature makes maneuvering in tight confines a piece of cake, but it also adds more system complexity and cost to the boat. And although the system makes docking a dream, we’re not sure what future maintenance issues and costs would add up to. A 41-footer with a conventional sail-drive and no bow thruster might save a buyer a few thousand dollars, but it would also put more of the close-quarters handling challenge back in the hands of the crew.

Deck Details

From stem to stern, there’s a lot of innovation, and many of the new trends are found aft of the companionway. The first is a twin-wheel helm, a sensible response to the wide beam carried so far aft. It offers the helmsperson a comfortable windward or leeward perch. The resulting wide centerline alleyway would have been an awkward traverse underway if it weren’t for the convenient cockpit table that doubles as a good handhold, a bracket for a chartplotter multifunction display, and even a convenient fiddled catch-all, complete with drink holders. At anchor, the narrow, well-secured centerline table spreads its gull-wing leaves and turns the cockpit into a great place for dinner or a handy gathering spot for impromptu gams.

Another interesting feature is the transom: A pushbutton transforms the aft deck/helm seat into an open transom with a swim platform. The electric open/close servo causes the hinged transom to rotate from the vertical to a horizontal position, morphing what was a stern enclosure into a swim deck replete with a stainless-steel boarding ladder. The result is a wide spacious aft portion of the cockpit that’s convenient for swimmers, snorkelers, and families who love to play in the water. The transformation is fast, so if a building breeze causes the anchorage to become less bucolic, the stern appendage can be quickly reeled in, turning the transom back into a safe enclosure.

Another feature in the cockpit makeover is the elevated mainsheet traveler that sits on a well-reinforced fiberglass (FRP) arch. With the traveler and sheet out of the way, there’s room for a dodger/bimini and less risk of someone being whacked by the mainsheet tackle during a jibe. The setup does mean that the boom is higher off the deck, and the heeling moment increases a little for the same amount of sail area, but on a cruising boat, these seem to be fair tradeoffs. Sail shaping, trim, and outhaul-inhaul lines, along with reefing lines, are clustered around rope clutches on either side of the companionway.

On deck, there’s a practical form-meets-function theme to many of the styling changes. A lot of attention has been given to providing a very usable set of anchor rollers. The nicely executed custom stainless-steel assembly projects far enough forward to keep anchors from chewing up the gelcoat during deployment and retrieval. The solidly fastened anchor roller projection can also double as the tack point for a light-air, removable furling jib or asymmetric spinnaker. The structure includes a tension/compression strut that spreads loads to a secondary point further down the plumb stem. The roller assembly is another good example of practical and aesthetic utilitarian engineering.

This theme is carried aft with a teak-like PVC toerail that affords a hint of woodwork, hides the hull-to-deck seam, and provides an effective foot stop when the boat heels before a gust. At the stem and stern, as well as amidships, lie breaks in the toerail where well-fastened cleats are mounted. By giving primary billing to cleats that are ready to fair-lead lines in a wide arc, Beneteau shows its roots as a seafaring company. It doesn’t try to hide essential hardware, instead recognizing its importance and blending it into a functional design approach.

Testers also were pleased to see a well thought-out anchor well and a usable—albeit small—windlass. A snubber line can be fair-led from a bow cleat to an all-chain anchor rode and the load transferred from the windlass gypsy. There’s even enough room for a second anchor’s rope rode. Whether it’s a well-placed spring-line cleat or a functional set of anchor rollers, cruisers will come to appreciate their value in tough anchoring conditions or challenging docking situations. The same goes for the value of the rugged forestay chainplate on the Oceanis 41 foredeck. Those heading offshore need more than a roller-furling genoa and a mainsail to cope with the wide range of conditions they will face. An optional removable forestay and hank-on, heavy-weather jib or storm jib are available to add the needed sailplan versatility.

One of the more subtle and most beneficial redesign elements aboard the 41 is the rig. The mast has been moved aft to about 47 percent of the distance from the bow to stern. This adds more J to the fore triangle and allows a barely overlapping jib to be set on a 15/16th headstay. It’s a win-win for the owner and the builder as it enables shrouds to be run to an outboard chainplate, maintaining inboard sheeting for the headsail. This also allows for easy passage when walking the sidedecks. The builder avoids both the extra cost and headache of inboard chainplate reinforcement, and the higher loads resulting from narrow athwartship shroud spacing. The big tradeoff however, is not being able to point as high in light air when using a large overlapping genoa. Beneteau believes this isn’t much of a compromise as most are more likely to use a gennaker.

Accomodations

A built-in, five-step companionway ladder leads to the accommodations below. The wide steps with bolstered sides keep feet from sliding off when the boat is heeled. The entire ladder assembly can be pivoted toward the overhead, affording access to the forward part of the engine.

The Oceanis 41 offers a high-volume interior that’s available in three different layouts. We test-sailed the two cabin, one head version, but there is also a three cabin, one head format and a three cabin, two head option. The more cabins and heads, the less space for cockpit or pantry storage. The two cabin, one head layout had a roomy feel, but it did not have functional port and starboard sea berths. A sliding nav station/end table occupies the port portion of the main saloon and allows the settee and nav table to be reconfigured into two seats with a small table in between. Those making offshore passages will regret not having a usable berth in this part of the boat, and the lack of a traditional chart table/nav station will be a notable con for some sailors.

There’s a functional, L-shaped galley with a two-burner stove, small oven, and a top-loading fridge, but counter space is limited.

The accommodations in all three configurations feature private cabin berthing situated at opposite ends of the boat. Though ideal while moored or when anchored in cooler climates, boat motion and the lack of ventilation underway will make such berthing less appropriate for passagemakers. (There are no full-sized Dorade boxes, only a hatch mushroom vent and a small aft-facing scoop.) However, Beneteau certainly knows it market, and the apparent trend seems to be toward fewer hours of sailing, and increased time spent entertaining and weekend cruising—dynamics that have certainly driven the new boat’s interior design.

Construction

Those with a wooden-boat school awareness of joiner work will be a little disappointed by today’s approach to production-boat interiors, and Beneteau is by no means the only builder that features raw-edge plywood locker lids and cutouts along with non cut-to-contour interiors. The fact that it’s not the same level of craftsmanship as seen aboard custom yachts is not a deal breaker. There’s no need to tab in the joinery, because it’s not part of the structural framework of the boat. Many labor hours are saved with this prefab and nicely finished approach to creating interior woodwork.

Beneteau, like many others, has opted to provide value to customers by not building interiors in situ, and investing the labor savings in better-engineered laminates and other crucial aspects of production building. In essence, to keep the price more competitive, the hours spent on detailed joiner work have been cut and the styling approach favors the factory-built interior. In some ways, this is good for Beneteau and the buyer: It allows for a greater percentage of the building budget to be allocated toward laminating materials, rigging, mechanical, and electrical systems—where many feel it really belongs. And it doesn’t mean that the interior finish quality has been abandoned; it simply means that if you are looking for dovetailed drawers, a solid teak-and-holly sole, and other nostalgic tidbits of yachting’s gilded days, you need to look elsewhere and be ready to double or triple your boat-buying budget.

Performance

We tested a deep-draft Oceanis 41 in 17- to 20-knot conditions (with a few higher gusts) and found the boat to be responsive under sail and willing to tolerate the gusts. Intentionally, we drove the boat hard on the wind, assuming that such a wide stern would turn a deep heel into a rudder-releasing roundup. Not only did the boat refuse to round up, but it maintained a comfortable helm despite a 20-plus degree heel. Only when puffs bore down at a sustained 25 knots did the rudder finally lose its grip. The result was a very demure return to an upright trim as the boat came head-to-wind. This was a far cry from the ricochet roundups we’ve experienced on other cruising and racing boats with wide sterns.

The boat we tested was rigged with the optional mainsail furling system. Reefing the batten-less main with the furler was easy, as was reducing headsail area with the roller furler. With less sail area set, boat handling was smooth and decisive; heel lessened to 15 degrees, and the boatspeed still exceeded 7 knots on a close reach. We were riding with the lee side just about level with the kink, and the water seemed to resist wrapping up around the hull. It was also interesting to see that the transom wasn’t immersed and the quarter wave seemed minimal. All of these attributes are indicative of Beneteau’s design success with the new hull form.

Off the wind, we unwound the reefed working sail area and scooted along at about 7.5 knots. A furling gennaker or asymmetric spinnaker could be tacked to the end of the anchor rollers and would have added even more boat speed, but in the 20 knots of true wind, there was no need for the extra drama.

With the sails dropped, the Yanmar 40 horsepower engine had plenty of power to handle the conditions. Returning to the dock and backing into a tight slip would have been a chore without the Dock and Go joystick steering—a benefit of a rotatable saildrive and bow thruster electronically linked to a thumb and forefinger actuator.

We liked the fact that the new Oceanis 41 carries on Beneteau’s tradition of keeping enough FRP structural material in the boat to maintain its reputation for well-built hulls. This boat is no featherweight, and with an 18,000-pound-plus light-trim displacement, it’s a sizable 41-footer. Light air may need to be handled under power, but the crew also has the option to harness a 1,400-square-foot asymmetric spinnaker.

The Oceanis 41 comes standard with a conventional main and a lazy jack sail pack. Those who want peak light-air performance should opt for this setup, but those seeking operational convenience may want mainsail furling—because the arch raises the boom fairly high, the air draft is 64 feet, quite a halyard haul.

Those headed on a lengthy offshore passage will bemoan the lack of functional seaberths, and they may want to think about the six large portlights and the damage control that would be required should one crack or let go.

All in all though, the Oceanis 41 is a modern hull form with a stylish interior that best fits the needs of part-time cruisers looking for a lot of boat that’s a lot of fun under sail.

Beneteau Oceanis 41 Review – A Real Breeze!

The Beneteau Oceanis 41 was designed for sailing comfort and ease. Several friends of mine sail this boat and rave about the size and stability of this 41 ft. luxury vessel.

I have had the pleasure of being a passenger aboard the 41 my friend sailed, and I was mesmerized by the grandness of every aspect of the boat.

Most impressive of all is that a boat this size can easily be handled by just two people or even one.

Table of Contents

Accommodation

The 41 has 3 separate layout designs to choose the layout that will suit your guest configuration best. 2 to 3 cabins and 6 to 6+2 berths are available to make your trip as comfortable as possible.

No matter which layout you choose, there is ample room for storage with several wide berths that can hold swim, diving, or scuba gear. Two of the layout designs feature a single head accessible from one of the cabins or the saloon.

The 2-head option is only available with the 3-cabin layout, with a head in the same location and the other housed in the third cabin.

Despite the enormous cabins, my favorite sections were the galley and saloon areas. I found the L-shaped kitchen cozy and easy to move around in to prepare meals or snacks.

It is fully equipped with a two-burner stove, refrigerator, and a double sink. The saloon, by far, is one of the most comfortable spaces I have ever encountered aboard a yacht.

The saloon is huge, which invites lounging and conversation among the guests, but is still intimate enough for a couple to have a quiet evening together.

The interior is attractively decked out in mahogany wood and light-colored fabrics, creating a relaxed look that is still elegant.

The windows allow lots of natural light to filter in, and I was surprised by how much sunlight could stream into the galley.

The below deck is so wide and has so much headroom it’s easy to forget where you are and begin to believe that you are in a ritzy hotel room.

The cockpit is often where most boats will cut corners to create more space in other areas, but the cockpit and deck of the 41 were not sacrificed in the least.

You can sit on the bench (which doubles storage) with a drink in your hand and watch the sunset, or you could invite other boaters to hop aboard for a beer and some conversation.

The 41 is a breeze (pun intended) to sail under almost any wind conditions. In my opinion, this is an excellent vessel to learn to sail with, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t imagine a trip on the 41 with a hired skipper.

If you are looking for a romantic escape without the worry of handling a yacht, a skipper is a definite must-have.

Skipper or no skipper, you are looking at smooth sailing with the 41. Its windward performance is stable and strong, and when out in open water, the vessel remains steady.

Comparison Between 41 & 45

A comparison between the 41 and the 45 comes down to small details, as the 2 boats are almost identical. The 45 has more design options than the 41, but the initial layout is the same.

As for comfort, both vessels have plenty of space, but the 41 is cozier and rough waters are less noticeable below the deck of the 41 than in the 45.

The 45 also lags a bit windward when under sail, while the 41 can generally power through without incident.

Why Sail the Oceanis 41

• Controls and sails are easy to handle and control
• Lots of space and room for privacy
• Massive saloon space below the deck
• The above deck is perfect for entertaining
• Large cockpit
• Lots of storage space
• Performs very well under sail

In Conclusion

The Beneteau Oceanis 41 has always held a special place in my heart. My friends that frequently charter this vessel swear they will never sail another type of yacht.

Even if you want to experience many different yachts, you should include the 41 on your list. It’s so impressive. I would suggest moving it to the top of your list and trying it out as soon as you get the chance!

I never turn down an opportunity to board a 41, even if it’s just an invitation for my husband and me to have a drink with friends.

I cant say I’m much of a sailor myself, but this article was packed full of great information. The 41 yacht looked absolutely stunning, I liked how luxurious the boat was on the interior. Long time Sailing looks like it would be a breeze in this boat. maybe someday soon I could go on a ride on one of those beautiful yachts.

Yes, you’re right, it’s a stunning and comfortable sailing yacht.

I wish you to sail this boat soon.

Thank you for the comment and have a great day

This looks awesome. I used to not be the biggest fan of boats but took a few boat trips around some of the Islands in Thailand a few months ago and i must say, if i had the $$ a boat is something id be looking to buy. This trip looks great. I went to greece as a kid a few times and i can only imagine how cool this owuld be.

Thailand is beautiful, I can imagine how nice it was!

Thank you for the comment and have nice day:)

Wow – what a beautiful sail boat. I can’t get over how roomy the pictures make it look below deck. It also looks like it could take on some rougher seas based on its beam. It looks very wide. Do you know the beam dimensions? I’d be curious based on the pictures as it looks very wide.

The dimension of the beam is writing in the article, you must have missed it:) 4,21 m / 13,81 ft

It’s big enough to walk around!

Thank you for passing by and wish you a wonderful day

I’ve always thought a sailing trip on the Mediterranean sounded like a great adventure. And it’s something I plan to do before I die.

I have some sailing experience but only on smaller boats under 20 feet. These size boats are all I have access to for sailing. Would it be best to sail larger boats if I wanted to charter an Beneteau Oceanis 41 so I can get better experience with them? Or would that not be necessary since the 41 is easier to handle?

The 41 is very easy to handle, but you definitely need to familiarize yourself with the boat first. I would suggest you to sail with a skipper for the day and then you’ll see if you are able to control the boat by yourself.

I hope it helped!

Thank you for visiting my website and for the comment.

Have a nice day

This has always been a goal of mine and that is to own a sail boat. I love the Beneteau Oceanis 41. I never realized how much room is inside a sail boat. I was showing these to my husband last night and oh was he excited. Thank you for sharing this. I will be bookmarking your site for sure.

How nice of you and your husband to have bookmarked my website.

I am glad you liked it.

Thank you for the comment and wish you to sail soon!

Beneteau Oceanis 41.1

The best in performance, space, and cruising comfort.

Offering the best in performance, space, and cruising comfort – the Beneteau Oceanis 41.1 was designed to meet the needs of many, whether it be for a vigorous day of sailing, comfortably hanging at the dock, or an extended live-aboard cruise.

The interior is surprisingly spacious and seems like a much larger boat. The salon has abundant headroom and feels very airy. Plenty of light streams through the over-sized hull windows and overhead opening hatches. With the french doors to the forward cabin open, the boat seems like one long continuous room, stretching from the companionway all the way to the point of the forward V. The chef in the group will surely appreciate the port side L-shaped galley that has plenty of counter space and is laid out for cooking efficiency.

The noticeably angled crease of the hard chine along the hull allows for less heel and provides stability underway. This design brings the width of the beam farther aft, not only increasing the room down below but especially topside in the cockpit. Six or more can sail comfortably all day without getting in each other’s way! Having twin wheels allows the skipper to switch sides and have great visibility while steering from the high side following a tack. The wide drop-down transom provides a secure step to board when the boat is docked stern-to and makes getting back on board following a swim easier. Plus, it provides a great lounging area to sunbathe while at anchor.

Take a Tour

The boat can be ordered with either two or three cabins, with the tri-cabin version having the added option of a second private en-suite head in the forward cabin. With the three cabin version, SailTime Philadelphia members can enjoy having a group of people sleep comfortably aboard following one of the city’s exciting waterfront fireworks displays. There is also plenty of space when an overnight trip to the bay is the goal.

When the wind picks up, the added options like in-mast furling and electric winches make reducing sail area easier. Having all the lines led to the cockpit, and the jib winches within easy reach of the helm, single-handing is simpler when underway with non-sailing friends. Having a bow thruster makes docking a low-stress event, especially with an assist from our dockmaster at Penn’s Landing Marina.

Plenty of space, comfort, and a well-appointed vessel are the things we all want in a cruising sailboat. With Beneteau’s Oceanis 41.1, you just may have found it!

Options & Alternatives

Buyers of the Beneteau Oceanis 400 sailboat had several design options to choose from:

• Rig Type: The primary rig type available was a sloop, typically a masthead rig.
• Draft: There were options for both deep and shallow drafts. The standard draft was around 1.7 meters (5 feet 7 inches), but a shoal draft version was also available.
• Interior Layouts: The Oceanis 400 offered different interior layouts. Common configurations included two or three cabins, with variations in the number of heads and the arrangement of the saloon and galley areas.

Later versions of the Beneteau Oceanis 400 sailboat were produced, with some notable differences:

• Oceanis 411: Introduced as a successor to the Oceanis 400, the Oceanis 411 featured a slightly longer hull at 12.71m (41'8") overall and improvements in interior space and comfort. It also offered more modern styling and updated equipment options.
• Oceanis 40: This model, launched in the mid-2000s, continued the evolution of the Oceanis line. It had a more contemporary design, with a focus on maximizing interior volume and comfort. The Oceanis 40 also featured advancements in hull design and rigging for improved sailing performance.

Sail Areas & Rig Dimensions

I: 14.7m (48'2") J: 4.1m (13'5") P: 12.9m (42'3") E: 4.8m (15'7") Mainsail Area: 30.6m 2 (329ft 2 ) Foresail Area: 30 m 2 (323 ft 2 ) Total Sail Area: 60.6 m 2 (652 ft 2 )

Published Design Ratios The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The following analysis of the design ratios gives an indication of the boat's likely sailing characteristics, but see the 'Notes of Caution'   below :

1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (SA/D): 14.6 The Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 14.6 suggests that the Oceanis 400 is somewhat underpowered. It is a little below the threshold of 16, indicating that it may not have the same potential for high performance as boats with higher SA/D ratios. This ratio implies that the boat is designed more for cruising comfort rather than racing or high-speed sailing.

2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio (B/D): 27.6% A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 27.6% indicates that the Oceanis 400 has moderate stiffness. While it won't be as stiff or powerful as boats with a B/D ratio of 40 or more, it offers a balanced approach between stability and performance. This suggests it will be reasonably good at standing up to the wind and handling moderate sea conditions without excessive heel.

3. Displacement/Length Ratio (D/L): 192.5 The Displacement/Length Ratio of 192.5 falls into the Light Displacement category (100-200). This suggests that the Oceanis 400 is relatively light for its length, meaning it will perform well regarding handling and manoeuvrability. It also implies that the boat will require less sail area to reach its design hull speed compared to boats with higher D/L ratios.

4. Comfort Ratio: 26.7 With a Comfort Ratio of 26.7, the Oceanis 400 is expected to have a somewhat lively motion. The number falls within the range of 20 to 30, indicating that this sailboat is designed as a coastal cruiser with moderate stability. It will have more motion than heavier bluewater boats, but it is generally suitable for family cruising in reasonably protected waters.

5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.92 The Capsize Screening Formula of 1.92 is below the critical value of 2.0, implying that the Oceanis 400 has reasonable bluewater capability. This low CSF indicates that the boat has a favourable beam-to-displacement ratio, making it less prone to capsize, and is thus safer for ocean passages than boats with higher CSF values.

Summary The Beneteau Oceanis 400, with its design ratios, is oriented more towards comfortable, moderate-performance cruising rather than high-performance sailing. Its moderate Sail Area/Displacement Ratio points to decent but not exceptional speed potential. The Ballast/Displacement Ratio and Comfort Ratio suggest a good balance between stability and comfort, making it ideal for coastal cruising with occasional forays into less protected waters. The Displacement/Length Ratio indicates it's light and should handle well under sail. Finally, its Capsize Screening Formula supports its suitability for bluewater passages, adding to its versatility as a family cruiser.

Here's how to calculate the KPIs yourself -  without having to wrestle with the mathematics...

Design Ratios: Notes of Caution...

• The Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (SA/D): This ratio provides an estimate of the sail power relative to the boat's weight, which can indicate potential speed in various wind conditions.  But i t doesn't account for the efficiency of the sail plan, the rigging, or the skill of the crew. Real-world performance can vary significantly based on these factors.
• The Ballast/Displacement Ratio (B/D): This ratio gives an idea of the boat's stability and stiffness, which is crucial for handling and safety.  But  it doesn't consider the distribution of the ballast or the hull shape, both of which can greatly affect stability. A high B/D ratio alone doesn't guarantee a stable boat if the ballast is poorly distributed.
• The Displacement/Length Ratio (D/L): This ratio helps predict the boat's speed potential and its behaviour in different sea conditions.  But  it doesn't account for the hull design or the boat's overall weight distribution. Two boats with the same D/L ratio can perform very differently if their hull shapes are different.
• The Comfort Ratio (CR): This ratio estimates the boat's motion comfort in a seaway, which is important for long passages.  But  it doesn't consider the boat's interior layout, which can also affect comfort. Additionally, personal tolerance to motion varies, so a boat that is comfortable for one person might not be for another.
• The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF): This formula assesses the likelihood of a boat capsizing in heavy seas, which is critical for offshore safety.  But  it doesn't take into account the boat's handling characteristics or the skill of the crew. A boat with a low CSF can still capsize if poorly handled in severe conditions.

General Limitations

• Static Nature: These ratios are static measurements and don't account for dynamic factors like wave action, wind gusts, or crew actions.
• Simplification: They simplify complex interactions into single numbers, which can be misleading. Real-world performance is influenced by a multitude of factors that these ratios can't fully capture.
• Context: The context in which the boat is used (e.g., coastal cruising vs. offshore racing) can greatly affect how these ratios should be interpreted.

In summary, while these ratios provide valuable insights into the theoretical performance characteristics of a sailboat, they should be used as part of a broader assessment that includes practical experience, sea trials, and expert advice.

Beneteau 411

Beneteau 411 is a 41 ′ 0 ″ / 12.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Group Finot and built by Beneteau starting in 1997.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Also known as OCEANIS 411. AKA STARDUST 411, MOORINGS 413. See OCEANIS 411 for more details.

Exterior design

How can you enjoy life at anchor as much as while sailing? With the innovative flared hull design of the Oceanis 40.1, BENETEAU has broken new ground but made no concessions. The result is a hull that has true speed potential and is stiff under sail. Above the waterline, her deck plan and ultra-spacious interior by  Nauta Design  is unheard-of on a boat this size. You cannot help feeling that you are aboard a 45 foot cruiser!

Interior Design

With your choice of either a  walnut or white oak , the styling of the interior by Italian designer Nauta is remarkably bright and excels in the skillful arrangement of the living spaces. She is available with two, three, or four cabins, and a  C-shaped galley  to the starboard that offers an abundance of storage and a spacious countertop. On the port side, there is a large salon with a table, complete with a removable bench. A chart table at the foot of the companionway provides ample working space. Everything is modular, so that everyone can live the way they want and enjoy sailing wherever the wind takes them.

40 FEET OF SPACE!

The philosophy of the Oceanis 40.1 is to make sailing and mooring pleasurable. The strengths of this cruiser, studied in detail by the architect Marc Lombard and the BENETEAU design office, are unrivalled interior space, a huge deck plan, and the ability to clock up miles when you are cruising.

LIFE AT ANCHOR

The ergonomics and easy maneuvering in the cockpit make life onboard simple. Nothing interferes with the joy of life at anchor. Feel like splashing around the boat in an idyllic creek? The transom easily converts to an extensive swim platform, similar in size to the ones you find on the largest Oceanis cruising yachts. Having access to the sea is an integral part of life on a sailing yacht, and this model is one of a kind. 

SEEKING EXCITEMENT UNDER SAIL…

As there is no one way to sail, and because everyone takes their cruising at their own pace, the Oceanis 40.1 comes in several versions. Sailors keen on performance can choose the First Line Pack, with a taller mast and a deeper draft. Alternatively, the in-mast furling system and self-tacking jib will make maneuvering easier when shorthanded. A classic mast for a semi-full batten mainsail is also available.

HEAVENS ABOVE, SO MUCH SPACE!

The hatches and the many hull and coachroof portholes, two of which face towards the cockpit, fill the boat with natural light and ventilation, making her exceptionally bright. The Oceanis 40.1 comes in 4 different versions with two, three, and four cabins to accommodate everyone’s idea of a holiday on board. Couples and large families will feel at home. The owner version has a cabin with an ensuite shower and head, and a bed easily accessible from either side. The four-cabin layout has two forward berths with bunk beds.

Equipped With SEANAPPS

The easiest way to keep your boat safe and ready to cruise anytime.

The new Seanapps  app is the ultimate solution to help you indulge your passion for boating. With the touch of your finger, you can easily connect, monitor and order services for your boat – from routine maintenance, to requesting a wash or fuel or having us complete a repair.
