Beneteau Oceanis 35

By Andy Adams

Another interesting aspect of today’s changing lifestyles is the desire to be able to have what you want, not necessarily what a designer thinks you ought to have. To best tailor their latest design to the individual buyer, Beneteau has just introduced their Oceanis 35 model which is available in three different configurations; Day Sailor, Weekender or Cruiser. 

Buyers can choose the layout that best suits them. Almost everything is an option and they can modify the number of cabins, their partition or openness, the galley space and even details like the inclusion of a separate shower or helm seat.

At the same time, this brand-new design incorporates features like hard chines for speed and stability, a drop transom and a handsome arch to make the cockpit more comfortable and the sheeting easier.
