SOUTHEAST ASIA'S YACHTING MAGAZINE VOL. 17 NO. 4, Nov 2022 - Jan 2023

by: Easy Branches

This beautiful ocean-cruising yacht has an elegant 60ft hull profile, which echoes that of her incredibly successful 54ft sister.

She has a generous cockpit, with matching sofas, tables, and sunbathing areas, staying true to the Oce- anis Yacht design. Manoeuvrability on board is made easy with the wide side-decks that run around the helm stations, giving access to the foredeck. With twin helm stations, controlling the boat’s course is easy as trimming the sails, windward or leeward, which is great on a big yacht when sailing short-handed.

The interior of the Oceanis Yacht 60 is bright and airy, with a generous full-beam galley midship. Work and storage spaces are also aplenty, great for taking those long weekend trips around Asia. She is a 60-footer that feels much larger than her size, and a true sea-worthy yacht by Beneteau.

The First 44 is the latest model to join the out- standing First range. Like its larger sister, the First 53, the Beneteau First 44 comes from the pen of designers Ro- berto Biscontini, responsible for naval architecture, and Lorenzo Argento who worked on the deck and interiors.

Available in the Standard or Performance versions, the First 44’s Standard has wide side- decks converging toward a cockpit table. Four winches, a fixed centerline block for the main- sheet, and a mast set further aft are designed to maximise the potential of a modern sail plan with a slender mainsail and generous foresails.

On the First 44 performance, ergonomics were studied and developed with fully crewed re- gattas in mind. Equipment and systems are totally geared towards racing, among which should are the foam non-skid surfaces that replace the teak on the cockpit sole, six well-placed winches and a conventional mainsail traveller.

Based on a 43ft 2in hull with a beam of al- most 14ft, the Standard and Performance versions have an overall length of 46ft 5in and 48ft 1in respectively.
