2022 Beneteau 40.1

Introduction and Key Features

Presenting Happy Ours, a 2022 Beneteau Oceanis 40.1, designed by Marc Lombard with interior styling by Nauta Design. This hull blends contemporary cruising comfort with performance sailing, offering interior volumes and cockpit space far beyond typical 40-foot yachts—so much so that the Oceanis 40.1 often “feels like a 45-foot cruiser.” The design features a flared hull that remains stiff and efficient under sail, an expansive cockpit enhanced with teak decking and custom cushions, and Beneteau’s signature fully opening transom swim platform—perfect for days at anchor or long coastal passages.

Her thoughtful layout—featuring two cabins with a forward vanity, a dedicated utility/storage room, and an open saloon—makes her ideal for couples or small families who want both comfort and sailing capability. The teak cockpit and cushions elevate the onboard living experience, while her sail plan and twin wheels ensure easy, confident handling under a variety of conditions.
