The Oceanis 40.1 is one of Beneteau’s two major new sailing models

Sydney will host the Asia-Pacific debut of the brand-new Oceanis 40.1 sailing boat as Beneteau, Lagoon and Excess each host open days as part of the Boating Rendezvous from October 16-18.

The Oceanis 40.1 is one of two major new sailing boats recently unveiled by Beneteau along with the Oceanis Yacht 54.

The Beneteau First Yacht 53 had its world premiere at Cannes last year

Other Beneteau sailing boats on display at Cockle Bay Marina in Darling Harbour comprise a First Yacht 53 (Australian premiere), Oceanis 30.1 and a First 27 (Asia-Pacific premiere). 

Local dealers will also show six motorboats from the French brand including the Asia-Pacific premieres of the Gran Turismo 32 (outboard version) and Antares 11, as well as a Gran Turismo 40, Swift Trawler 47 and Flyer 8 and 10 models.

The 47 is the second-largest model in Beneteau’ Swift Trawler range

Meanwhile, a Lagoon 42 sailing catamaran will also be on display and host live ‘Inspire and Learn’ sessions demonstrating how to manoeuvre the vessel, while the Asia-pacific premiere of the Excess 12 rounds up the 12-model line-up.

The Boating Rendezvous – Sydney 2020 is an appointment-only event, adhering to protective health measures in Australia.

A Lagoon 42 will also be on display in Cockle Bay Marina in Darling Harbour
