The industry leader from France is launching another boat, the 35, which is available in three different configuration levels

The Oceanis 35 is available in three very different configurations - and can be further customised and upgraded at a later date.

The simplest variant is the daysailer: no doors, no aft extension, no main bulkhead, no cooker, no cool box. Then there's the weekender: cabin in the stern, doors, an equipped galley. And the cruising version then comes as you would expect from a conventional cruiser today. Another special feature of the concept: the main bulkhead can be easily installed and removed at a later date, depending on use.

With this concept, Beneteau has created an unexpectedly high degree of customisation and gives the customer many options, even after purchase as a used boat.

How the new model compares in terms of price, what other special features it offers, what it can do and where it is weak:
