Valentin Moreau goes through the Beneteau line in Miami

CY was excited to attend the introduction of Beneteau’s new Oceanis 34.1 at the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show on Friday, February 18.

Led by Yann Masselot General Manager, the team explained the improvements over the previous 35 model. With a slight reduction in beam and more volume forward the weight has been reduced by 500 kg while the additional volume forward gives more stability. Three different sail plans are offered as well as various interior layout options.

Masselot explained that for the first time in years, the sales volume in monohull boats is increasing, a clear sign that more young couples and families are entering boating. The attractive price and features offered on the Oceanis 34.1 bode well for future success.

Canadian Yachting magazine will do a full sailing review after the show closes so watch for that in an upcoming CY issue.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
