Breeze is a 2-cabin, 1-head Beneteau Oceanis 41. This model was the first of the new generation, hard chine boats of the time. Designed to sail fast and settle to the chine, as well as increase the interior volume. The beam is carried aft, creating a large cockpit with excellent storage. The full-beam, fold down transom was/is one of the most desirable features of the boat - the first of its kind, soon mimicked by other manufacturers. When at anchor it creates a long swim platform and allows easy access from the water into the cockpit.
Breeze has been lovingly looked after, professionally maintained and avidly sailed by her owners on the Chesapeake Bay and down to North Carolina.

Beneteau Oceanis 41: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau 411 Cruiser Racer presents a versatile sailing yacht that balances performance with ease of handling. Designed to accommodate both cruising comfort and racing capabilities, this model features thoughtful innovations aimed at enhancing single-handed or shorthanded sailing experiences.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The deck of the Beneteau 411 is designed for operational efficiency and safety. Running rigging such as sheets and halyards are neatly organized from the mast to the companionway, minimizing clutter and simplifying sail management. The hull-deck joint has been redesigned to provide a continuous, full-length foothold, improving security when heeling under sail. Flush recessed hatches prevent tripping hazards and interference with sheets. The cockpit benefits from a large beam carried nearly to the transom, resulting in a spacious area that includes a centerline table with foldable wings for dining or easy movement. The cockpit dodger is integrated into an improved arch design, offering wind and spray protection with Eisenglass panels that maintain clear visibility forward and to the sides. Dual helm stations equipped with carbon fiber wheels and foldable seats enhance comfort and functionality. Additionally, a hydraulically operated two-stage swim platform with a fold-out ladder provides convenient water access.
Sail Handling and Rigging Innovations
Sail control is optimized for shorthanded sailing through several innovative features. The running rigging leads to jammers on either side of the companionway, reducing the number of winches required. The introduction of Harken on-off power buttons for the self-tailing electric winches allows operators to select slow or fast speeds and to disable the winches to prevent accidental activation. The mainsheet system employs a German design that keeps the cockpit uncluttered and allows mainsail trimming from both sides via a continuous loop without a tail. Jammers for both genoa and mainsheet on each side further facilitate efficient sail handling.
Power and Maneuverability
Powered by a 45 horsepower Yanmar diesel engine paired with a three-blade folding propeller and a powerful bow thruster, the Beneteau 411 demonstrates excellent maneuverability even in challenging conditions. During testing, the boat was able to break free from a dock pinned by stiff winds with ease. The throttle response was immediate, and the helm was highly responsive, aided by a large spade rudder positioned well aft that enabled tight turns. The bow thruster further enhanced maneuvering, allowing the boat to turn sharply on demand.
Performance Under Sail
Testing in steady 18 to 22 knot true winds revealed the Beneteau 411’s strong sailing capabilities. With one reef in the mainsail and a partially rolled genoa, the boat achieved an upwind speed of 6.9 knots at 45 degrees true wind angle, maintaining heel angles between 12 and 18 degrees. Bearing off and unrolling the jib increased speeds to 8.3 knots at 60 degrees and up to 9 knots at 100 degrees off the wind. The boat remained responsive with light helm input even when heeled up to 20 degrees. At broader reaches, speeds remained sprightly at 8.5 knots at 140 degrees true wind angle. The balanced sail plan and large spade rudder contributed to smooth tacking, jibing, and maneuvering. This balance also reduced autopilot load, allowing it to hold course more effectively with minimal wandering. While the test model lacked racing options, the boat’s performance suggests it would be highly competitive with such enhancements.
Conclusion
The Beneteau 411 Cruiser Racer is a well-rounded yacht that combines thoughtful design, ease of handling, and strong sailing performance. Its innovations in rigging and deck layout facilitate shorthanded sailing, while its powertrain and hull design provide confident maneuverability and speed. Whether cruising or racing, this model offers a compelling blend of comfort and capability.
