BENETEAU Oceanis 37.1
The new 37 footer capitalizes on the innovations of the seventh generation of Oceanis cruisers, which it completes. The Oceanis 37.1 is the eighth model launched since 2017 and it has all the line’s hallmarks and offers eco-friendly solutions like an optional electric motor or iroko slatted cockpit floor.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
The deck is open and easily maneuverable, with an absence of back stays – a layout used successfully on the Oceanis 30.1 and Oceanis 34.1. The generous double spreaders on the Oceanis 37.1 promise excellent performance.
To retain easy handling shorthanded, all the rigging is brought back to the two aft winches. Only the halyards remain grouped around the coachroof. All the instruments, including a 7-inch plotter, can be found on the starboard helm console.
The hull is flared with a rib giving it fluid lines below water and allowing it to achieve greater power and stability. It also improves the hull rigidity, controls the weight well, and provides greater volume inside the bow.
INTERIOR DESIGN
The Oceanis 37.1 cruiser’s interior volume is remarkable. The generous space in the salon is nearly as large as a 40 footer.
The salon is offset to port with a sofa for relaxing and a comfortable table for six, facing the lengthwise galley.
The fore cabin has a breathtaking view of the horizon through two large portholes integrated in the hull side. In the two-bathroom version, a spacious double bed is positioned against the starboard hull.
The stern has been optimized for comfort. In the standard version, there is a king-size double bed and a huge sail locker that can be accessed from inside or out.
Available in 2 versions
In the standard version with a self-tacking jib, we’ve focused on making cruising easier. Meanwhile, sailors who enjoy lively performance boats will love the First Line version, with the square-top mainsail and Genoa.
Iroko Substitution for Teak
Iroko is an African wood that successfully replaces teak. Made with a new assembly process, called Iro-Deck, perfected by BENETEAU, it’s been installed for the cockpit decking. It provides uniform color, excellent sustainability, and rules out the risk of cracks in solid wood decks.
Available With Electric Engine Power
The Oceanis 37.1 is available with an electric engine with a 12 kW pod and 10 kilowatt-hour batteries. This allows for cruising programs on inland waterways where silent, carbon-free sailing is popular.
