THE POWER OF A NEW GENERATION
The first of a new generation of Oceanis sailing yachts celebrating the 30th anniversary of the range. The the Oceanis 51.1 is incredibly comfortable and much faster than any of her forerunners, she promises to be bang on trend and the most customisable and cruising yacht on the market.
From bow to stem, indoors and on deck, at anchor and at sail, the Oceanis 51.1 is elegant, smart, comfortable and performs majestically.

INNOVATIVE ARCHITECTURE
The architectural choice, by Olivier Racoupeau, of a stepped hull, extending over a third of the hull, is a major element in the development of the range. In addition to the interesting aesthetics of this flared shape, the new hull creates additional interior space without changing the shape of the bottom, essential for a good performance under sail. This allows for exciting new layouts on a boat this size. The variety of colours available for the hull is the first of the many attractive custo mizable features.

SMARTLY ELEGANT
With the clean lines characteristic of Nauta Design, the Oceanis 51.1 day marries style, pleasure of lifestyle and safety. With emphasis on taut cruiser lines, she is a joy to move around and reassuringly safe. The furling mast, self-tailing jib and all the halyards and sheets on the standard model are all brought back to a single winch at each of the helm stations, making her simple and easy to sail. As for harbour manoeuvring, Dock & Go technology simplifies everything.

The Oceanis 51.1 is an ingenious sailing yacht, with no less than four different interior layouts, five rigging plans, three different keel types, and a choice of 150 available options out of a 700 possible combinations – promising an individually unique Oceanis 51.1 to any future buyer.
