2022 Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 First Line - 3 cabin / 2 head layout.
"Big Louise" is no ordinary Oceanis 46.1, and even calling her "Turboed" is an understatement. This First Line model, from the drawing board of Pascal Conq, employs a full-length, hard chine down close to the waterline for increased form stability with twin rudders, resulting in a very stable and powerful hull form that does not tend to get overpowered in gusts the way that a single rudder boat does.
I'm Tom Hall, the listing agent, and I've been racing and daysailing on this boat for the past year and half so I know the boat very well. When we do the test sail I'll pass along the techniques we've employed to have some great race results. Contact me directly and I'll fill you in on all the details I can think of.
Being a 46.1 First Line she has a deep draft, lead bulb keel and Harken winches, all nice performance upgrades. But it doesn't stop there, this owner opted for the the extra tall carbon-fiber, slab-reefing rig with a hydraulic backstay adjuster.
