The Beneteau 46 is a solid bluewater cruiser with impressive speed and a rig that is innovative and efficient. Strength and reliability have been built into every aspect. An incredibly spacious, bright and well-ventilated interior is complemented by beautiful traditional exterior lines.

Her rigging is classic and efficient: a masthead furling genoa (drum on deck) guarantees the necessary power for an easy passage. The semi full battened mainsail is equipped with lazy jacks, facilitating both furling and sail reduction when necessary, whilst conserving the efficiency and pleasure of the classic mainsail.
The construction of the Oceanis 461 has been undertaken using the same principles that have made such a success of the whole range: the glued and laminated inner moulding ensuring the best possible spread of rigging loads throughout the hull.
Her deck layout reflects the spirit of comfort and efficiency that has prevailed in the Oceanis 461 from her concept: teak-capped bulkhead for elegance and safety, electric winch half sunk into the anchor well thereby providing the best position for raising the anchor chain, large sunbathing area forward, uncluttered sidedecks due to the chainplates having been moved inwards to the coachroof... and, of course, for those who appreciate its refinement - a teak deck option.
As for the vast cockpit, it is easily accessible via a door in the transom which is also equipped with deep lockers. The wheel steering position has a full console, to which a large cockpit table with hinged flaps is joined.
