Just bought a share of this boat at Sailtime Newport Beach. Great way to get on the water and limit the cost of owning it by yourself. 18 knot winds and huge swells off shore on Sunday and she performed like a champ.
Beneteau is making some sleek-looking exteriors, and I appreciate the simple plywood interiors, but my gosh, for what they’re charging, it should be much more richly appointed. It’s outlandishly overpriced, but a great boat.
Please tell me that the chainplates are more than three inches long, and are secured by more than six rivets, especially on a B&R rig... see 1:22. If you don't want a "backstay to dance around", maybe you don't want a mast to dance around either.
Don't care for raked back spreaders. Love wing on wing straight downwind. I like tracks better than snaps also. .Better have 1 rear berth and a bigger head with separate shower. .
A major design decision of the new Oceanis line (from the 30.1 to the 51.1) is to maximize the size of the cockpit and ensure an unobstructed access to the swim platform. Once the swim platform is lowered, and the aft seats raised, there is nothing in the way of enjoying the swim platform (including a backstay to dance around). If you want to increase your downwind speed, then get a Code 0 for downwind sailing instead of relying on wing-on-wing.
I wonder how many of the Beneteau haters in the comments have actually sailed one. I’ve always been told they’re cheap and plastically but when I chartered one I actually found it to be a great boat. I think Beneteau is one of those brands that’s become fashionable to dislike but actually make good products.
@@peteredridge9559 I couldn't disagree with you more. I think the exterior looks awesome; that pearl grey really stands out, and the use of low-friction rings means there are no genoa car tracks on the deck. The lines are sleek outside for sure; she looks absolutely beautiful. Compare the interior with any other 35-foot boat you like. Incredible use of space, good quality hardware... I think it is wrong to call this "Ikea look", if by that you mean cheap. Having seen the 30.1 (the smaller version of the 34.1) up close, I can tell you that the furniture and fittings are very high quality.
@@tomrodriguez7267 Square portholes, are you kidding? Square portholes? Square anything on a sailboat! And 'no' this isn't the future of sailboats, it's just a clumsy attempt at getting noticed, dreamt up by the marketing department. So okay, I'll tone down the Ikea criticism because what I really meant to say is that it's hideous. Yep, hideous is about right.
It sure did. I don’t want teak, but plywood is a bit of a low bar. I’d like to see a nice composite material made to look like a varnished teak, without the maintenance.
Someone needs to take his crayons away because this is what happens when you let a ten-year-old design a sailboat. It's not a sailboat, it has as much soul to it as a Sears tool box.

Boat Shares? Could you elaborate? lmao that sounds like a great idea
I am just about to do the same. I visited Sailtime and was super impressed.
So much boat for 34.1 👍 exactly what I’ve been shopping for. Love the grey too.
Definitely crazy amount of money 💰 for a boat labeled with a sharpy for all systems and access
Love this 34 footer.
All that money and the mechanical ID is done with a Sharpie.
Awesome stuff. Thank you.

Has you compared pricing of the same size Catalina?
For as much as they cost just having a marker for what's in a compartment is pretty lame..

Sharpie?
Lol. They couldn’t even make proper plates for each section
Can the Beneteau emblem be purchased for the cockpit table?
Yes…email me at adam@scyachts.com and I can help you out

@@tomrodriguez7267Are you on Beneteau’s paylist for persistently defending them in the comments?
Beautiful! what is the TV size?
...that should *not* be your first question.
GoPro?
Looks like diy.....120k....can you fit AC and a watermaker?
Double helm in a 34 footer? WTF

Selling modern boats as “minimalist styling” when in reality they’re just checking out and selling a cheap ikea furniture interior.
Which matches the cheap Ikea exterior.

Cheap & cheerful and perfect for a trailer park! 😂
I'm curious what is lacking here?
They need to add a drain at the bottom of stairs
Great 👍💕
How to much? AC?
Nice!
Can this sailboat go to sea?
it can definitely go to the bottom if you're not careful enough
Nice vessel, but the head is anything but "spacious".
Visually stunning, futuristic, looks very expensive, not an everyday looker!
Looks like ikea designed it
Interior design by ikea.
why they keep making the interiors look so cheaply made out of ikea?
It is beautifull. But to expensive for oor days.
How much ?? $$$$$ 😂
Zoom out buddy!!!
nice room for a 34, just hate the IKEA woodwork. guess teak went out of style.
It sure did. I don’t want teak, but plywood is a bit of a low bar. I’d like to see a nice composite material made to look like a varnished teak, without the maintenance.
Loved it all, except the ugly grey colour of the hull.
Dont care for the snaps instead of tracks, and the propane switch is in a horrible place. Easy to bump, or kids turn on.
Love the boat. Don’t like the snaps either.
Smell that PLASTIC!
Goes well to the Chinese and American lifestyle.
No microwave. Hmm
How can “you have your” when this is already bought by someone?
Erratic video work. You should work on that.
Ucuz görünüyor. Sevmedim
Very cheaply built , in 10 years that boat will be ready for the scrap heap .
C'est réellement affreux!

Looks cheap.
