The Oceanis 411 had
a longish production run, from 1997 to 2004, with many minor variations
in trim and detail, as well as differences between models built
for the EU and US markets. Designed by Group Finot, construction
is of solid GRP for the hull, with a balsa-cored deck and coachroof
moulding. Designations such as 'Clipper' and 'Celebration' refer
to trim levels and detail of boats built at different times.

The Oceanis 411 has a flat sheer, a relatively
low profile coachroof, and narrow bow sections with a small
amount of flare in the forward sections, increasing aft. The
stern sections are full with a lot of buoyancy well aft. Overall
this is a fast hull, but she has been given a bigger spade
rudder than would be usual for a racing boat, to aid directional
stability and control. The rudder stocks are carbon-epoxy.
Two keel configurations were offered: a deep bulbed fin
drawing 5' 7" and a shoal draft keel that draws only
4' 9", the shallow keel being heavier with a more pronounced
bulb to compensate for the lesser depth.
The Oceanis 411 rapidly became popular, both with charter
fleets and private owners. Charter operators like these boats
because they are easily handled, and stand up well to the
wear and tear of intensive use. For the private owner they
offer a large and moderately fast boat with very nicely finished
interior, and they are big enough to make long passages -
there are usually several of these each year doing the ARC
(Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) passage to the Caribbean. |
