Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 named Best Sailing Family Cruiser 2019

Beneteau recently launched the new Oceanis 46.1, a family cruiser that offers a balanced blend of elegant design, large volumes and impressive sailing performance. In a testament to the appeal of this design, the Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 has just been awarded the Best Sailing Family Cruiser Award at the European Yacht of The Year 2019 at the Flagship Night of Boot Dusseldorf.

Equipped with a remarkably wide and voluminous hull, the new Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 has very stable sailing characteristics and provides a comfortable and generous ambience below deck. The many large hull windows and skylights flush with the deck and roof ensure a bright and friendly atmosphere. With a spacious saloon and dining area, the design offers comfortable spaces to host guests onboard.

The Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 has voluminous hull lines and offers excellent sailing characteristics and a wide cockpit similar to her big sister, the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1. On deck, the 46.1 is designed for safety and ease of use. Features include a mast furling system, self-tacking jib and the halyards and sheets, which are all guided to individual winches easily accessible from the steering positions of the twin steering system. This set up allows easy handling, even with a small crew.

Another appealing feature is the ability to welcome up to 10 guests in five cabins – perfect for those looking to host family and/or a large number of guests. Equipped with a large sail area with improved sailing characteristics thanks to a finely balanced rig geometry and successful lift distribution, it is no wonder the Oceanis 46.1 is the proud winner of the European Yacht of the Year 2019 – Family Cruiser category.
