BENETEAU OCEANIS 51.1 FIRST LINE 2023 - Try Before You Buy opportunity
This 2023 Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 First Line represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely performance-oriented cruising yacht in exceptional, near-new condition.
Unlike the standard Oceanis 51.1, this yacht is equipped with the First Line performance package, including the upgraded tapered aluminium performance mast with three swept-back spreaders, Dyform standing rigging, hydraulic textile backstay, Dyneema performance running rigging, German mainsheet system, Harken Black Magic blocks, upgraded Harken Performa winches, composite steering wheels and bowsprit.
Combined with her North Sails inventory, this is an Oceanis 51.1 designed not only for comfortable cruising, but for owners who genuinely enjoy sailing.
BROKERS COMMENT:
In my years of inspecting and selling yachts, I rarely come across a boat maintained to this standard.
The level of care given to this Oceanis 51.1 is closer to what one would expect aboard a professionally managed luxury yacht than a typical cruising yacht. The teak decks are exceptional, the interior presents beautifully, the machinery spaces are remarkably clean, and even the areas normally overlooked during routine maintenance show the same level of attention.
There is a difference between a boat that has been cleaned for sale and a boat that has been properly cared for from day one. This is very clearly the latter.
Everywhere you look from the deck hardware and running rigging to lockers, bilges, engine space and accommodation the same impression remains: this yacht has been maintained without shortcuts.
For a buyer looking for an Oceanis 51.1 First Line, finding another example of this age, specification and condition will not be easy.
THE YACHT
The Oceanis 51.1 combines a modern performance hull with the volume and comfort expected from a large cruising yacht. This particular yacht offers the additional advantage of the First Line configuration, giving her a more powerful sail plan and upgraded performance equipment while retaining the comfort, space and practicality that have made the Oceanis 51.1 so successful.
She offers a spacious four-cabin, four-head layout plus a separate skipper cabin, finished in Walnut Alpi.
The interior is bright, spacious and exceptionally well kept. The large saloon, generous galley and four comfortable guest cabins make the yacht equally suitable for extended family cruising, entertaining guests or longer passages.
Her equipment includes a 110 HP Yanmar diesel engine, generator, watermaker, air conditioning, bow thruster, extensive Raymarine navigation package with radar and AIS, inverter, additional fuel and water capacity, retractable tender davits, solar panels and a comprehensive cruising inventory.
FIRST LINE PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
The First Line package includes the tapered performance aluminium mast with three swept-back spreaders, Dyform standing rigging, textile hydraulic backstay, flat-deck genoa furler, Dyneema performance running rigging, German mainsheet system with mainsheet control at both helm stations, Harken Black Magic blocks, upgraded Harken Performa winches, composite steering wheels and a bowsprit for Code 0 and asymmetric spinnaker.
The sail inventory includes North Sails Mainsail, Genoa, and Staysail AND Furling Asymetric Nylon Sail (gennaker) from ADRIA SAILS, with separate furling system (Carver).
This combination gives the yacht a noticeably more performance-oriented character than the standard Oceanis 51.1, while maintaining the easy handling and comfort expected from a modern cruising yacht.
