- From 70 000 euros for a model built before 2000
- 1,200 copies from 1997 to 2004
Ideal family boat? Almost! The Océanis 411 is perfect to eat a mile as a mooring moored moocher. Even if his line would have been a little more original. This did not prevent this voluminous cruiser offered at a tight price, to taste an immediate success. In 1998, 250 Océanis 411s were sold in less than a year. A total of 1,200 copies will be produced of this yacht, which exceeds 12 metres, which is quite a record!
Easy to manoeuvre, comfortable, very healthy in the breeze with its deep ballast and its reassuring freeboard, the 411 is undeniably a sure value of the great cruise. Many families have adopted it for a trip of one year or more, with a good preparation for the World Tour. With the program, rather hot destinations like the West Indies or a world tour by the trade winds.
The diagnosis of Bateaux.com
At the beginning, the 411 is only a makeover of the 400. Except that the yard makes a clear effort of finishing and proposes in series its pack"Clipper", an assortment of options almost essential in cruising.
The boat has long been one of the best selling rental fleets. A glance at the deed of francization will inform you about the path of the unit you covet.
The only defect of this model: a certain laziness in light weather despite the large 140% genoa. A Performance version is there to erase this little downside.
To be checked: engine condition - number of hours, possible leaks, oil analysis - valves, steering system and rigging. In short, anything that suffers from intensive use.
"Comfort, speed, safety, manoeuvrability: with the Oceanis Clipper 411, the Finot group has designed the ideal family boat..."
