Skippers had the pleasure of discovering the Beneteau Oceanis 52 at the Cannes Yachting Festival last September. The successor to the Oceanis 51.1, this cruiser, designed by Biscontini Yacht Design for the exterior and Nauta Design for the interior, gains in volume while retaining a reasonable beam to optimize its sailing performance.
This performance can be further enhanced with the First Line package, which includes a 2.36 m deep bulb keel instead of the standard 1.92 m, and a 1.85 m higher performance mast to increase the mainsail area from 46 mÂČ to 66 mÂČ.
Here, without further ado, is the walkaround for this latest addition to the Oceanis range!
