Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Shallow draft: 5.09’/ 1.55 m Asymmetric spinnaker: 960 sq. ft./89.20 m²

Exterior design.

How can you enjoy life at anchor as much as sailing? With the innovative flared hull design of the Oceanis 40.1, and steps extending over a third of the bow, BENETEAU has broken new ground but made no concessions. The result is a hull that has true speed potential and is stiff under sail. Above the waterline, her deck plan and ultra-spacious interior by  Nauta Design  is unheard of on a boat this size. You cannot help feeling that you are aboard a 45 foot cruiser!

oceanis 40 sailboatdata

Interior Design

With a  walnut or light oak ambiance , the styling of the interior by Italian designers Nauta, is remarkably bright and excels in the skilful arrangement of the living spaces. She is available with two, three or four cabins and a  C-shaped galley  on the starboard, offering lots of storage and a spacious worktop. On the port side, there is a large saloon with a table and a removable bench, and a chart table at the foot of the companionway provides ample working space. Everything is modular, so that everyone can live the way they want and enjoy sailing wherever the wind takes them.

12 METRES OF SPACE!

The philosophy of the Oceanis 40.1 is to make sailing and mooring really pleasurable. The strengths of this cruiser, studied in detail by the architect Marc Lombard and the BENETEAU design office, are unrivalled space inside, a huge deck plan and the ability to clock up miles when you are cruising.

LIFE AT ANCHOR

The ergonomics and easy movement in the cockpit make life on board so simple. Nothing interferes with the joy of life at anchor. Feel like splashing around the boat in an idyllic creek? The transom easily converts to an extensive swim platform, similar in size to the ones you find on the largest Oceanis cruising yachts. Having access to the sea is an integral part of life on a sailing yacht, and this one is a model of its kind. 

FOR SAILORS SEEKING EXCITEMENT UNDER SAIL…

As there is no one way to sail, and because everyone takes their cruising at their own pace, the Oceanis 40.1 comes in several versions. Sailors keen on performance can choose the First Line version, with a longer mast and a greater draught. The in-mast furling system and self-tacking jib will make manoeuvring easier shorthanded. A classic mast for a semi full batten mainsail is also available.

HEAVENS ABOVE, SO MUCH SPACE!

The hatches and the many hull and coachroof portholes, two of which look towards the cockpit, fill the boat with natural light and ventilation, making her exceptionally bright. You really feel like you are entering a much bigger boat! The Oceanis 40.1 comes in 4 different versions with two, three, and four cabins to fit everyone’s idea of a holiday on board. Couples and large families will feel like they are at home! The owner version has a suite with ensuite shower and head, and a bed easily accessed from either side. The four-cabin version has two forward spaces with bunk beds.

A connected boat

The mobile application, Seanapps , and its onboard unit lets you view the status of the boat's various systems (battery charge, fuel or water tank levels, maintenance scheduling) via your smartphone, as well as planning your route or reviewing your sailing status using your mobile phone.

Beneteau Oceanis 45

A performance sailing yacht.

The Beneteau 45 does very well, even in 18 knots of breeze without a reef. The boat accelerates and reaches max hull speed without sacrificing stability and comfort. It features a well-balanced helm and hard chine, making it a perfect vessel for the exciting swell of the Pacific Ocean.

One of the Beneteau 45s in the SailTime Orange County fleet has a Code Zero, a cross between a genoa and an asymmetrical spinnaker, that is used for sailing close to the wind in light air. The Code Zero has the same sail area as the main and jib combined. So, if you find yourself on a beam or broad reach with light wind, just roll out the Code Zero and you don’t need the engine to get back to the base. This is a must for a Beneteau 45 when sailing anywhere with light winds to save hours on the motor and enjoy sailing more often.

Beneteau Oceanis 45 Under sail

A comfortable sailing yacht

There is nothing more relaxing than a leisurely weekend aboard the Beneteau 45. Every August, SailTime Orange County partners with Beneteau to host our three-day Rendezvous aboard the boats at Catalina Island. We take our Beneteau 45s because they feature three cabins, two heads and a convertible salon table that drops to form a berth. There is plenty of room for a family to sleep, as the beds are quite large and comfortable. The forward cabin is the master, which has an en-suite head and shower. With both sides of the island bed being open, it actually feels less like camping because you don’t have to crawl over your partner to get out of bed.

We spend most of our time in the cockpit, either enjoying a margarita while listening to Jimmy Buffett or just catching some warm rays while enjoying the views of Catalina Island. The cockpit becomes even larger on the Beneteau 45 when you drop the transom. It is particularly enjoyable when we are on a mooring or at anchor. It really opens up the boat and is low to the water, so it makes it easy to hop on and off the dinghy.

It’s an excellent investment

Investing in a nice custom dodger, bimini and connector for the Beneteau 45 is also a smart option. It provides shade on those intensely sunny days. The connector can be removed in 30 seconds when you want more sun or are ready to sail.

The Beneteau 45 is a smart choice for a sailing yacht that combines performance with comfort. We at SailTime Orange County highly recommend this model for anyone considering a boat in this size-range.
