With the launch of the Oceanis 47, Bénéteau continues to renew its historic range. Designed to meet the demands of semi-high-seas cruising, this 14-m sailboat incorporates feedback from users and current technical standards. Designed with life on board in mind, this model features a revised hull, a functional deck layout and a modular layout.
Hull and deck layout: a constrained evolution
One of the most visible features of the Oceanis 47 is its enhanced shape stability, induced by a pronounced chine and a hull width extended aft. Finot-Conq's naval architecture favors stiffness under sail and stability at anchor, to the benefit of comfort. The enclosed cockpit, equipped with two independent fold-down tables, becomes a real living space. The integration of aft bench seating, an optional galley module and a wide bathing platform testifies to the shipyard's determination to optimize use at anchor, without sacrificing maneuverability.
Ergonomics and on-board circulation: cockpit compromises
The cockpit design favors fluid circulation, thanks in particular to the enlarged volumes and L-shaped seating arrangement. The layout, designed to accommodate up to ten people, is compatible with short-handed sailing. Maneuvers are centralized near the helm stations, where winches, engine controls and instruments are directly accessible. The optional load bar frees the cockpit from the mainsheet, while integrating the sprayhood, bimini and hardtop.
Interior configuration: modularity and customization
Three layouts are available: owner's version (3 cabins/2 heads), charter version (4 cabins/4 heads), and a mixed version (5 cabins/3 heads). The emphasis is on modularity and luminosity, with large openings to the outside. The central saloon houses an L-shaped galley equipped with Corian worktops, a large icebox and a multifunctional dining area. The owner's suite, located at the front, features a central 160 cm bed, optimized storage and abundant natural lighting.
Performance and rigging: between accessibility and sensations
The Oceanis 47 comes standard with a furling mast and self-tacking jib. This configuration is designed for ease of handling. The First Line Pack offers a longer mast and a more generous wardrobe (109% genoa, classic mainsail, gennaker, code 0). This version meets the needs of sailors looking for better performance downwind and in light airs. The long draught is 2.47 m, and the light displacement 10,981 kg.
Life on board and autonomy: a sailboat for the open sea
Designed for long periods on board, the Oceanis 47 has a freshwater capacity of 370 l and a 195 l fuel tank. The standard engine (57 hp) provides propulsion for a wide range of conditions. Every space has been designed to offer solutions for storage, thermal and acoustic insulation, and living comfort both at anchor and at sea. Three interior ambiances are available: Sunset, Pacific and Ivory, allowing materials to be adapted to the desired aesthetic.
Range positioning: continuity and rationalization
Successor to the 46.1 model, this new 47-footer is part of a controlled industrial logic. The Vendée-based shipyard is streamlining production while adapting its products to different market segments, from rental to private ownership. By relying on a modular platform, Bénéteau reinforces the legibility of its offer while capitalizing on forty years of evolution of the Oceanis range.
