SV Redemption spent the bulk of her life sailing the Chesapeake Bay, which has a short season of only five or six months per year; she has been sailing to Florida and the Florida Keys for the last few winters. She was updated in 2017 and again in 2019 for long-range cruising by the current owner. The bright white gelcoat and beautiful woodwork reflect their pride of ownership. With two large cabins, Redemption is perfect for two couples or a family of four.
Beneteau describes their Oceanis line as “blue water cruisers” which have “set the standard for sailboat design and construction.” Designed by Jean Berret and Phillipe Briand and produced by Beneteau between 1992 and 1997 the Oceanis 351/352 has sleek lines which offer fast and efficient sailing and cruising, as well as comfortable living space for short-term or long-term adventures. Considered particularly beamy at the time of its launch, the Oceanis quickly became known as “a comfortable family boat that is fun to sail.” The innovations of the Oceanis line include: a winged keel, a shallow bilge, slippery underwater sections and a lengthy waterline.
Despite more conservative estimates from her manufacturer, Redemption easily reaches an impressive 7+ knots in good wind (highest speed by owner is 8.6kts). She shares her hull with the Beneteau First 35.7, and her maximum waterline length and wide beam make for excellent stability in all weathers. In rough seas and strong winds, the Oceanis 351 has a good solid feel. The slab sided Dutchan and Lazy jacked main with roller-furling genoa make for nice easy rigging and this is a yacht that makes for easy and safe light or short-handed sailing.
A CE Class A Ocean Rated Vessel, Redemption is truly ready for a new owner to take her to new horizons.
