T
he new Oceanis 51.1, that was launched
on the market and introduced in 2017 at
the Cannes boat show, is the first model
of a new generation of boats. As is always
the case in a new generation, these mo-
dels result from a completely revised concept of the
boat. Designed by the Berret-Racoupeau couple for
the water lines and by the Milanese studio Nautica
Design for the deck and the accommodations, this
model breaks new ground in internal volumes and
external spaces of boats.
The hull
With 15.80 metres (51,83 ft) length overall and 4.80
(15,74 ft) metres beam, the Oceanis 51.1 is a full 51
feet whose main feature in the forward redan.
Looking at the hull, you will notice its pronounced
chine that extends from midships to the bow. Ra-
ther than a chine, this is a proper redan that makes
the hull remarkably wider above the waterline than
it would have been according to the natural design
lines.
