Overview
About this vessel
AVANT is a well-kept Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 that has spent the majority of her life used seasonally in Maine and stored indoors for winters. Built to a high specification, she is loaded with extras like electric headsail furlers to make both sailing and life aboard easy. Cosmetically and mechanically she shows her professional care.
The Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 is a thoroughly modern sailing yacht from Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design featuring a stepped hull and plumb bow with sprit, with practical and stylish deck and interior layouts from Nauta Design. The boat is easily driven, easily handled and a joy to sail. Chock full of desirable features and options — bow and stern thrusters; electric fold-down transom; twin wheels; cockpit refrigeration; generator and air con; electric winches and in-mast furling; telescopic folding tender davits — to name just a few.
AVANT has the three cabin/two head layout with white oak ALPI joinery and off-white cushions below with the family trim package offered by Beneteau. On deck cockpit cushions are in light grey Sunbrella with white piping to accompany the light grey dodger/bimini/canvas covers and darker grey boot stripe for a coordinated and sharp look. The boat has seen light summer usage, indoor winter storage and is in fantastic shape. Always professionally cared for, she is presented in sail-away condition complete with tender and outboard and is competitively priced and ready for the coming season.
Forward Cabin
Starting forward is the full-beam owner's cabin with a centerline berth. This is a gorgeous space with plenty of light and natural ventilation, plenty of wiggle room and plenty of storage. Settee bench seats on either side of the berth are a nice touch, as are convenient shelves with fiddles to keep phones secure with charging outlets port and starboard. The cabin features hull ports, dual overhead hatches with built-in screens and privacy shades, air conditioning, a lift-up berth with access to storage beneath, large under-berth drawer storage and dual hanging lockers, and a vanity on the aft bulkhead with pull-out storage locker and mirror above.
Separate Shower Stall
Aft to starboard is the separate shower stall which is a huge space with large built-in seat, shelf with fiddle for shampoo, and plenty of locker storage space outboard. There is a vent in the shower for AC/reverse cycle heat and an overhead hatch.
Forward Head
Aft to port is the head with vanity, also with AC vent, plenty of storage and overhead hatch for light and ventilation. It features an electric push-button quiet flush toilet with fresh/saltwater valve.
Work/Comms/Nav Desk
The Nav station nook is next aft and to port, with a forward-facing seat to work at the desk that has an extension to become an L-settee which doubles as an inboard-facing lounge as well as a settee for use with the expandable salon table. This is a nifty and well-executed design concept and a unique aspect of this modern generation of Oceanis 51.1s. The desk features a lift-top with storage beneath, VHF radio, stereo controls, nav/reading light, and recessed storage outboard.
Galley
Next aft to port is the large U-shaped galley with counter space forward and aft and sink and stove outboard. It includes a gimballed stainless 2-burner stove with oven, stainless sink with countertop cover and cutting board, microwave oven in overhead locker, opening port, under-counter trash bin, and under-counter pot locker. The countertop is in clay compact with Corian fiddles. The galley also features a 130-liter refrigerator, a freezer drawer under the washer/dryer, fitted cupboards and closed cubbyholes, and a lower unit with two drawers and dishwasher underneath.
Pantry
Just aft and outboard of the galley is a large locker with a built-in washer/dryer, drawer freezer, and opening portlight with curtains in the coach roof side window.
Salon with Dining Table and Settee
Across the salon to starboard is the large U-shaped settee with expandable table that takes full advantage of the beamy design, with plenty of storage and shelving outboard and sizable hull ports to flood the salon with light and water views both while sailing and at anchor. The salon features wide companionway steps with gentle slope and overhead drop-down lockers outboard of the table with additional storage behind and under the salon settee.
Guest Head
Next aft to starboard is the roomy guest head with an ensuite separate stall shower; also with opening port for natural ventilation and vent for AC/heat. It features a quiet flush electric toilet.
Aft Cabins
Aft of the salon are the port and starboard quarter cabins with oversized double berths with split mattresses so that lee cloths or semi-permanent dividers may be used to create private berths or additional storage offshore. These cabins feature hull ports, opening ports, hanging lockers, and built-in storage.
Cockpit
The cockpit on the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 is superb, with opposing L-settees flanking a large teak double-leaf table with icebox, cupholders, and lighting. Twin composite helms and an electric fold-down transom mean excellent access to and from the water and make getting into the cockpit a breeze. All sail handling lines are led aft to the cockpit and are intelligently laid out to make shorthanded sailing a reality from the twin helms. The oversized dodger provides ample protection from the elements, and a large center-opening section allows plenty of airflow. An innovative feature is found in the sole at each helm with a hinged lifting section that allows for a comfortable standing steering position when the boat is heeled over. The cockpit features electric winches for the genoa port and starboard, teak decking, fold-away companionway doors in smoked Lexan, cockpit bench extensions with halyard bags below, and settee storage lockers.
