With taut lines, a new stepped hull and a stylish deck plan, the Oceanis 51.1 is the first of a new Oceanis generation. Easy to handle, comfortable and smart, the number of customizations available has been increased to provide hundreds of combinations.
The new approach to flexibility
Easy to handle, comfortable and smart, the number of customizations available has been increased to provide more than 700 combinations. The furling mast, self-tailing jib, and all the halyards and sheets on the standard model are all brought back to a single winch at each of the helm stations, making her simple and easy to sail. As for harbor maneuvering, Dock & Go, technology simplifies everything.
Fitted with an extra-long carbon or aluminum mast, the Oceanis 51.1 First Line has up to 35% additional sail area in high-tech materials. To complete this version, a composite steering wheel, top-of-the-range deck fittings, and boomsprit marry speed and cruising and promise exciting new sensations.
Exterior design
One-third of the Oceanis 51.1’s hull is now stepped. In addition to the aesthetics of this flared shape, the new hull creates additional interior space allowing for exciting new layouts on a boat this size. With an emphasis on taut cruiser lines, she is a joy to move around and reassuringly safe. The spacious cockpit, many relaxation, and sunbathing areas, as well as an aft swim platform, promise true comfort.
Interior design
The large hull portholes bathe the boat in light and elegantly emphasize the interior design by Nauta Design creating a wonderful atmosphere. A choice of brushed oak or mahogany woodwork ambiances increases the opportunities for customization. Inside, the owner's cabin has an en-suite shower room and toilet, and a 1.6 m wide island bed. A fully-fitted U-shaped galley has many convenient appliances.
