2017 Beneteau 381

Description

The Oceanis 38.1 features a chine-forward hull and twin rudders, providing stability, control, and excellent tracking under sail. Its beam carried aft increases interior volume, making the saloon feel airy and accommodating for a full crew around the table. The L-shaped galley offers bracing points while cooking underway, and the redesigned chart table folds away to maximize space. This boat has the two cabins layout for more comfort and has the mahogany finish.

The cockpit is spacious and social, with twin helm stations and a mainsail arch that keeps lines out of the way, enhancing safety for non-sailors. The transom drops to form a swim platform, equipped with a folding ladder, making anchoring and water access convenient Side decks are passable, and cleats and anchor handling are sensibly positioned for ease of use.

The Oceanis 38.1 is not a lightweight performance boat, but it handles well for short-handed crews. It has a displacement around 6,850–7,200 kg, providing a stable platform. The twin rudders and hard chine allow the helm to remain light and responsive, even when heeled. It points well upwind, balances easily under main and genoa, and carries momentum through tacks. This is the shoal draft version Draft options include shallow (5.43 ft) allowing flexibility for shallow bays while still providing upwind performance.

The interior is designed for real-life cruising, with bright, modern spaces and good ventilation. The saloon can seat the full crew comfortably, and the cockpit is safe and social for non-sailors. Shower and head comfort vary by layout, with three-cabin versions feeling more compact. The boat is particularly suitable for week-long trips, couples, small families, or groups who prioritize comfort over high-performance sailing.
