SAIL YACHT #2 – 41 FOOT SAIL YACHT CHARTER SF | BENETEAU 41 | SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | SAILING YACHT

    SAIL YACHT #2 – YACHT CHARTER SF | The Beneteau Oceanis 41 SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | SAILING YACHT | YACHT CHARTER Co | SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | PIER 39 | | SAILING YACHTFrom bow to stern, the Oceanis 41 has been carefully designed to appeal to a wide range of boaters. And, like most Beneteau sailboats, she has been designed for easy sail handling by a couple or even single-handed. By offering a layout option with three cabins and two heads she should appeal to families, couples, singles and even to entrepreneurs who want to put a boat into the charter trade.
    The Beneteau Oceanis 41 is available with three different interior layouts, one of which has three cabins and two private heads. She also comes in both deep-draft and shoal-draft versions. Like many of Beneteau’s sailboats, twin wheels are standard and note in the image above the high arch for the mainsheet blocks which keeps the boom over 7′ (2.13 m) off the cockpit deck. She is powered by a 40-hp diesel and the Beneteau-exclusive “Dock & Go” joystick is optional.

    This is about as far as the Oceanis 41 ever heels when properly sailed. The arrow points to the crease that starts far forward and is carried to her stern.

    Oceanis 41 Overview

    beneteau_oceanis41_layout1

    On deck the maximum beam of the Oceanis 41 practically extends from midship to stern. This design allows the 41 to have a huge cockpit and also two good-sized cabins in the stern quarters as well as an engine room and a head.

    Cutter Rig. Her sloop rig has the mast moved aft in what Americans call a “cutter rig.” This means that her mast is nearly in the middle of the fore and aft plane of the boat. There are several advantages to this rig:

    1) It makes it easy to balance the sail plan and, indeed, the main sail is 449 sq. ft. (41.7 m2) and the 104% genoa is 453 sq. ft. (42.10 m2).

    2) By moving the mast back the designers have also moved the center of effort of the sail plan farther aft which makes the boat easier to steer because smaller corrections are needed.

    3) By moving the center of effort aft – where the boat has greater beam – form stability can play a greater role in reducing her angle of heel.

    Bottom Shape and Keel Options. The Oceanis 41’s bottom shape makes her easy to push and at the same time allows the bottom to give the vessel a great amount of form stability. Her 7’2″ (2.18 m) optional deep keel allows her to point and her bottom shape makes her fast off the wind.

    Her shoal-draft keel (both are cast iron) is 5’7″ (1.70 m) and of course it is heavier at 5,527 lbs. (2,507 kgs.) than the deep-draft keel at 5,071 lbs. (2,300 kgs.).

    Layout #1 — 2 cabins, 1 head.

    Accommodations Plans

    By making three different accommodation layouts available Beneteau is allowing the Oceanis 41 to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.

    Layout #1 is what we would call a pretty conventional layout. Here the port quarter is taken up by a sail locker, something that most people will not need. This space can be used to store water toys and scuba equipment, for example. Headroom in the aft starboard cabin is 6’7″ (1.89 m). The berth is 6’7″ long, by 5’3″ at the head and 4’2″ at the foot (2.00 m x 1.60 m x 1.28 m). It has a private entrance to the head with separate shower stall albeit on the small side. Traditionally, this is the owner’s stateroom.


    The Beneteau Oceanis 41 : This 41 foot yacht. The cockpit in a Seaway. The cockpit offers a lot of room, yet the sail controls are easy to reach for single-handed sailing. Moving from port to starboard winches and wheels is a smooth process because the cockpit is open and uncluttered. A big cockpit sometimes feels too wide-open and unsafe when the boat is moving around in a seaway, but I didn’t feel that way about this boat.

    Because of the decks outboard of the cockpit coamings are wide, the seat backs are well angled, the table is solid, and the steering wheel binnacles are strong, there is plenty to hold onto and brace against. Further, this boat is designed not to heel more than 15-degrees — if she does there is too much sail up.

    Cockpit Layout. The deck arrangement is good — all lines are in the open, nothing is hidden and the lines don’t make too many turns. This minimizes friction and enables proper maintenance and repair. The electronic chart display, in the center of the cockpit, is not easy to see when sitting outboard while steering. The only solution I can think of is to put it on a swivel base, or better yet simply have remote readouts by each wheel.

    Kudos. I like the huge cockpit and open transom/swim platform design, and I would love to charter this boat in the Caribbean or Bahamas. I also like the shallow companionway stairway angle. It should make it much easier to use the stairs while the boat is heeled. This is an important consideration for older sailors.

    SAIL YACHT #4 – CATAMARAN YACHT CHARTER SF | SEAWIND 1160 SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | SAILING YACHT

      SAIL YACHT #4 – CATAMARAN YACHT CHARTER SF | SEAWIND 1160 SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | SAILING YACHT | YACHT CHARTER Co | SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | PIER 39 | | SAILING YACHTWelcome aboard the Seawind 1160 blue water cruising catamaran, one of the world’s most awarded cruising and charter catamarans which recently celebrated launching the 100th hull.
      The Seawind 1160 creatively blends key concepts of other popular Seawind models to create a design that successfully combines the huge living space and allround visibility of the Seawind 1000, with the sleeping accommodation, luxurious fitout and security of the lockable Saloon featured on the Seawind 1200. Thanks to the innovative TRIFOLDING DOOR system that converts the separate saloon and cockpit separated by a door, into a huge living and entertaining space with the doors folding and stowing away into the targa above.
      Since its recent launch, the new 38ft Seawind 1160 catamaran has won a huge array of awards internationally, including “Best Multihull” Cruising World Mag 2007, “Most Innovative” Cruising World 2007, “Best Sailboat” Newport Boat SHow 2006, the 2005 Australian Sailboat of the Year and many others. Around 80 Seawind 1160s have been sold around the world due to its superior use of space and outstanding performance attributes.
      Seawind owners have sailed accross the Pacific ocean from Australia to Alaska,via New Zealand, Tahiti and Hawaii, while other owners have cruised through SE Asia. You will also find the Seawind 1160 catamaran is a favourite in bareboat charter fleets in Australia and Thailand, yet also equally as popular as a weekender on harbours all around the world. Its this versatility combined with superior workmanship and quality that define the Seawind 1160.


      Seawind 1160: This 38 foot Catamaran has twin inboard diesel engines and a spacious interior. It’s great for hosting a large group.

      SAIL YACHT #1 | 43' JEANNEAU| SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | PIER SF | YACHT SF| SAILING YACHT | SF

        TRANQUILO SAILING YACHT | YACHT CHARTER Co | SAN FRANCISCO YACHT | PIER SF | JEANEUA 43′ | SAILING YACHT Tranquilo is a 2003 JEANNEAU 43 Sun Odyssey Deck Salon. The Sun Odyssey 43 is designed with families and charter guests in mind. Its ingenious modular interior can be converted by the owner from two cabins to four; removable bulkheads in the forward and aft cabins fit into slots in the overhead. An L-shaped galley and U-shaped dinette, each to starboard, provide ample room for guests and those tending to them, as do two separate heads. Standing headroom in the cabin ranges from 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 11 inches. Powered by a 56-horsepower Yanmar diesel, the 43 made 7 knots at 2,700 rpm; the noise she generated was among the highest of last year’s new-boat fleet, with decibels between 95 and 103 measured in the cabin. Additional insulation in the engine space would dampen that. Tranquilo is a 2003 JEANNEAU 43 Sun Odyssey Deck Salon, This specific design is unlike other sailboats in the fact that it has a raised pilot house for extra headroom and lots of natural light and panoramic visibilty from within. These yachts are stable, fast, good looking, easy to maintain, hold there value well, and are easy to handle. This is part of the reason why Sail Magazine voted the 43DS as one of the top ten new designs. She has a new engine, new wiring, new batteries etc. One of the many nice features this yacht has is that it can be a 2, 3 or 4 stateroom yacht. The bulkheads are removable to make this process easier. The boat has a luxurious walk in shower as well as an exterior shower on the swim platform at the stern.
