Nice video. Just one question: Do you think it is a good sailboat for a couple who want to cross the atlantic? Is it a sailboat heavy to handle? We are all 61 years old.
Nice boat Sy Skye! I'm thinking of buying an 2003 Oceanis 411, Have you anything to suggest in particular of I have to use attention, a sort recurrent damage or a thing that have often to be repaired? Thanks Igor
We just purchased a 411 also. What happened to your old boat? We are insurance shopping right now and have been trying to talk to cruisers who actually filed a claim first hand and what their experience was with the insurance company either positive or negative, to get ideas on which company we should go with.
+SV TimeChaser Congratulations, it's an amazing boat for this price range. Insurance wise, i'm unable to help you as, with all insurance, there's always problems when it comes to paying out. Just make sure you study your insurance policy 100% and if there's something you're unsure about, get them to make it clearer through an email. Our first boat ended up in Union Island, totally damaged. Have a great time on your new boat. Hopefully we'll meet up with you one day.
Hey Jake, Yes, the main sail comes out from the mast. There are different furring systems on the market, my one works with ropes. I pull on the sail to get it out and on a small rope to get it in again. I never wanted to have a main furring sail, but if i tell you the truth, now i'm really happy with it. Especially when i'm sailing single handed. All the Best

Very nice boat! :)
Thanks Marius, we're very happy with her :-)
Take care
The cushion you start the video with looks so comfortable and you show it in other videos! Can you provide a reference please?

So does the main sail roll out from the mast? How does it work?
