ARIEL

Cruisers ARIEL

The Beneteau 38.1 has an exceptionally large cockpit, very comfortable while underway and an excellent place for entertaining while at anchor. A large bi-fold cockpit table has room for six to dine. ARIEL was fitted with teak on the seats and cockpit sole, adding an element of yachting luxury. A huge fold-down swim platform provides fantastic access to the water and makes boarding from a dinghy very easy. The twin-helm design not only gives you excellent sightlines while sailing, but also clears a wide path for entering or exiting the cockpit. Stepping down below on the gently sloping companionway stairs, you will find a compact and well-laid-out galley to port with everything you need to store and prepare food while cruising. The large head is to starboard. Tall people have no worries; there is 6'4" of headroom in the main salon and galley and 6'2" in the head and staterooms. Each of the three staterooms have a large double berth and ample closet and drawer space. Overhead hatches and portlights provide excellent light and ventilation throughout the interior. Overall, it would be difficult to find another 38-foot sailboat with a more roomy or better thought out interior design and accommodations, something Beneteau is known the world over for as a leader and innovator in the industry..
