The Beneteau Oceanis 40.1, designed by Marc Lombard and built by Beneteau (FRA) in 2020, is a modern fractional sloop with a displacement of 17604.0 lb and a beam of 13.71 ft. While the exact hulls built count is unspecified, the model represents a significant update in the Oceanis line, featuring a comfort ratio of 21.06 and a capsize ratio of 2.11.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and modern amenities, as evidenced by frequent reports of galley upgrades like Princess appliances and Webasto heaters. It is less suited for extreme bluewater expeditions due to its moderate displacement and the prevalence of rudder maintenance issues in owner reports.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 17604.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.11, the Oceanis 40.1 offers moderate offshore stability, though owner reports highlight critical rudder/shaft issues that require rigorous inspection before extended passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410 and the Hanse 415, which share similar fractional rig configurations, beam widths around 13-14 ft, and a focus on performance-oriented cruising. These models also feature similar engine options, with Yanmar and Honda being common choices across this segment.
