Beneteau 351 

Designed by Jean Berret, the hull of the Oceanis 351 is very fast. Not surprising, however, when you take into account her taut lines, maximum waterline length and her wide beam ensuring excellent stability. The bulb keel with winglets is designed for performance and the highly pronounced foreboot cuts an easy passage through the waves.
The deck is freed of all manoeuvring lines : a false deck hides the halyards and manoeuvring lines, which are brought back to a battery of stoppers and on to two self-trailing winches either side of the companionway. The main and genoa sheet tracks are mounted on the coachroof thereby leaving the cockpit and sidedecks completely free. Raising the 59 sq.m. of sail is child's play, with both main and genoa mounted on furling systems.
