Cosa tratta questo video

The Beneteau 461 serves as a primary reference for the collaboration between naval architect Bruce Farr and Beneteau, which aimed to balance performance with cruising comfort in production sailboats.0:06 Measuring 47 feet overall with a 14-foot beam and 21,000-pound displacement, the 461 features a moderate displacement-to-length ratio in the mid-150s.2:00 Its design utilizes a masthead sloop rig, a fin keel with a bulb, and a spade rudder to maintain responsiveness and pointing ability without requiring a high-strung race setup.3:11 Below deck, the boat offers multiple interior configurations, including two-, three-, and four-cabin layouts, prioritizing volume and livability for families or charter use.4:05 While approximately 210 units were built between the mid-1990s and early 2000s, many saw service in charter fleets, necessitating careful inspection of systems and interior wear for prospective buyers.6:17 The design philosophy extends to larger models like the Beneteau 50, 57, 44cc, and 62, though the 461 remains a benchmark for balancing size, availability, and sailing characteristics.7:55
