Beneteau Oceanis : BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Oceanis 35 is a versatile sailing yacht available in three distinct versions, with the Weekender two-cabin layout featured in this review. Designed and manufactured with advanced technologies at Beneteau's facilities in Marion, South Carolina, and Saint Gilles, France, the Oceanis 35 benefits from precision construction methods such as injection molded decks, vacuum bagging, and resin infusion. These processes ensure consistent quality and exact specifications across every vessel produced. Measuring just under 33 feet on deck, the Oceanis 35 offers an impressive balance of manageable size, spacious accommodations, and a well-proportioned sail plan.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The Oceanis 35 features a plumb bow that extends the waterline length to nearly 32 feet, a beam of 12 feet 2 inches, and a displacement around 12,000 pounds depending on outfitting. The test boat was equipped with a shoal draft keel of 4 feet 9 inches, with options including a deeper full keel and a centerboard version. The deck design emphasizes safety and functionality, with inboard sail tracks and teak tow rails providing secure footing along the 1 foot 1 inch wide side decks. The cockpit is spacious, featuring long bench seats that accommodate multiple crew members comfortably. An optional deluxe table with storage and folding wings enhances usability, though a smaller removable table is also available. The mainsheet is thoughtfully routed to the arch, keeping the cockpit clear. The 5 foot 9.5 inch overhead clearance requires taller individuals to duck slightly, but the boom is well elevated to avoid interference. Additional features include oversized cleats, dual anchor rollers, a windlass, and a large road locker for anchoring convenience. The wide foredeck includes lashing points for securing an inflatable while underway, and multiple hatches provide ventilation and light below deck.
Helm and Sailing Controls
Twin 32-inch wheels at the helm offer comfortable control whether seated or standing. The helm station is equipped with a Brooks and Gatehouse multifunction display that integrates chart plotting and sailing data, complemented by a secondary display elsewhere on board and dual compasses for navigation. Engine controls and gauges are located at the port helm but are accessible from across the cockpit to facilitate docking maneuvers from either side. The sail plan balances the sail area evenly between the mainsail and jib, aiding ease of handling. Control lines lead aft to large self-tailing winches, enabling shorthanded sailing. The Elfstrom mainsail paired with a Harken self-reeling system performed well during testing, though the standard configuration includes a traditional mainsail with lazy jacks. The roller furling Genoa and jib winches are also operated from the cockpit, simplifying sail trimming and tacking. Additional cockpit features include teak decking for sure footing, a teak wedge for the helmsman, folding helm seats that provide access to storage compartments and systems such as the manual bilge pump, fresh water shower, propane locker, and shore power inlets.
Power and Performance
Powered by a 30-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine with a sail drive and folding propeller, the Oceanis 35 demonstrated responsive and nimble handling under power. The boat tracked well and responded to subtle helm inputs, making docking and close-quarters maneuvering straightforward, including backing to starboard. During sailing trials conducted off Annapolis, the boat showed lively performance even in light airs, with excellent helm feedback. In winds reaching 20 knots, the Oceanis 35 achieved speeds of 7.5 knots sailing windward and exceeded 8 knots on a reach, occasionally peaking near 9 knots. The hull’s hard chine above the waterline contributes additional buoyancy that reduces heeling in stronger winds without compromising responsiveness in lighter conditions. Twin rudders maintain positive control by ensuring at least one rudder remains deeply immersed, enhancing tracking and steering precision.
Cockpit and Boarding Features
The cockpit is designed for comfort and functionality, with ample seating and easy access to sailing controls. An optional spray dodger and bimini provide protection from the elements without obstructing visibility from the twin helms. Storage is abundant, including a large compartment beneath the starboard cockpit seat capable of holding multiple storage bins, as well as dedicated spaces for shore power breakers and other systems. The transom folds down to reveal a spacious teak swim platform that is simple to deploy and retrieve using the telescoping swim ladder as a handle. Dual lifelines secure the boarding area for safety. Well-placed handrails on the arch and cabin top facilitate safe movement forward on deck.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Oceanis 35 Weekender two-cabin version offers a well-rounded sailing experience with thoughtful design, quality construction, and strong performance characteristics. Its manageable size combined with spacious accommodations and efficient sail handling systems make it suitable for shorthanded cruising and weekend adventures. The balance of comfort, ease of use, and responsive sailing dynamics positions the Oceanis 35 as a compelling choice in the mid-30-foot cruising sailboat category.
