Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 21 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 21
CoastalBluewater

2.08 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.08
LightHeavy

151 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 151
EasygoingPowered-up

17.0 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

26% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Beneteau Oceanis 37.1 is a cruising sailboat designed by Marc Lombard and Nauta Design, first built in 2023, featuring a fin with bulb and dual rudders hull. With an LOA of 11.9 meters, a beam of 3.9 meters, and a draft of 2.1 meters, it displaces 6864 kg. The hull design increases interior volume, allowing the boat to offer living space comparable to older 40-foot models.3:34 Designers removed the roll bar, which permits a lower boom and improved sail performance in light winds.1:05 The cockpit layout routes all lines to two winches, facilitating single-handed operation, and the aft swim platform is 20 centimeters larger than the previous 38.1 model.52:12 Safety features include a dedicated, accessible storage locker for the life raft.1:58 Interior configurations include a three-cabin, one-head layout, with two-cabin and three-cabin, two-head versions planned for production in early 2024; the two-cabin version offers a larger aft cabin and a head with a separate shower stall.3:18 The dinette accommodates six people for dining. The Beneteau Oceanis 37.1 is available with an electric Torqeedo pod motor, a shallow keel option (1.63 m draft), and various sail options including a roller furling mast, furling main, self-tacking jib, furling genoa, Code 0, and asymmetrical spinnaker.
