n 2011 Beneteau launches three Oceanis
models: the 41, the 45 and the 48. Tho-
se three boats, that bring a substantial
change into the appearance of the Ocea-
nis range, are very wide, much wider than
the previous generation, and feature huge
aft platforms, but most notably they are
equipped with a roll-bar, a fibreglass arch
that rises above the companionway. Sail
boaters, especially those from southern
Europe, usually grumble at a roll-bar, but
then they start to observe and examine it,
and in the end many of them become con-
vinced: the roll-bar is a great convenien-
ce. The advantages offered by this item
are basically two: a) the main sheet block
is no longer located in the middle of the
cockpit walking surface, where it would
hinder movement in the cockpit itself b) if
the boat is fitted with a roll-bar, spray ho-
ods and biminis rest on it, so they can be
bigger, and what is more, they are much
more resistant under strong winds.
For these new models, Beneteau lets
owners choose between having a roll-bar
or not, thus making everyone happy.
The Roll-bar
Details
This is one of the few boats whe-
re the crew cabin is worthy of
its name. Here the skipper finds
a cot with large lockers under-
neath, a toilet, a sink and many
shelves
The chain well is very deep
and sloping, allowing to have
on board even 80 - 100 metres
of chain that can be laun-
ched without having to break
the build-up.
The reefing lines coming
down from the boom and
the halyards coming from the
mast, together with the sheets
of the mainsail circuit, are
immediately concealed under
the cowling in order to keep
the deckhouse clear
