2013 Beneteau Oceanis 45 — Spacious, Capable & Ready to CruiseThe Beneteau Oceanis 45 is an exceptionally versatile cruising yacht, offering the perfect combination of sailing performance, interior volume and practical cruising equipment.Designed by Finot-Conq & Associés with interiors by Nauta Design, the Oceanis 45 was named European Yacht of the Year 2012 — recognition of a design that successfully balances performance, comfort and ease of handling.At 13.94 metres LOA with a 4.50 metre beam, she provides the space associated with a much larger cruising yacht. The 3-cabin, 2-head layout is particularly versatile, making her equally suited to family cruising, extended stays aboard or entertaining guests. The spacious U-shaped saloon, L-shaped galley and generous cabins provide excellent accommodation for life afloat.Her deck layout is equally well considered. Twin steering stations give excellent visibility and control, while the furling sail plan, self-tailing winches and running rigging led back to the cockpit make sail handling straightforward. The fully opening transom creates a substantial bathing platform and provides easy access to the water.Where this Oceanis 45 particularly stands out is her cruising equipment. The specification includes updated electronics, together with a bow thruster and folding propeller. A teak cockpit sole, sprayhood, bimini, cockpit cushions and air-conditioning further enhance her appeal.Key Highlights
