Hydraulic Lifting Keel On Beneteau Oceanis 34.1

Best of both worlds.

The expert design team at Beneteau Sailboats has implemented a safe, stable, & convenient system to package the advantages of both deep and shallow draft keels. A hydraulic lifting keel offered on the Oceanis 34.1 maximizes the hull’s potential when deployed, yet gives access to shores with shallow waters when retracted.

When deployed, the lifting keel brings the performance of a very deep ballast in all points of sail. Without a weighted bulb on the bottom of the keel, this design also saves weight and limits drag.

The option is ideal for sailors who want the critical performance boost a deeper keel offers but also need shoal draft to get to their marina. Pensacola Bay, for instance, is extremely deep yet the marinas and bayous get shallow quickly and require a compromise.

When deployed, the performance draft is 8’4″

When retracted, the draft measures in at 4’1″

Ballast weight: 3,319 lbs (down from 4,099 lbs on the shoal draft)

The top of the keel pivots on a casing molded along the outside of the hull. This centerboard remains outside the hull & gives us a completely watertight structure. *For maximum stability and hold, the top of the keel pivots in a car inside of the casing*. A linear arm lifts keel up and down at the push of a button and is hidden inside of the dinette table.

The keel locks at one of 2 fixed positions – either fully deployed or fully tucked. The keel can only be deployed when the engine is underway, negating the risk of a badly positioned keel under sail. The ability to lock the keel in adds to the stability compared to operating it halfway deployed strictly on hydraulic pressure. It is important to understand that the draft cannot be adjusted to fit within the current depth and you must sail at one of the two positions (8’4″ or 4’1″).

In addition to adding performance and access, the system is a very safe one. In the event of a collision, the hydraulic cylinder pressure is released, freeing the keel so as to prevent damage.

The system is extremely easy to operate, with straightforward controls to raise and lower the keel. The control box is located near the throttle at the starboard helm station, and has all of the controls you need to operate your lifting keel.

See below placement of control:

The below tutorial video gives an overview of the keel operation and controls.

The popular new 34 foot cruiser has three keel options: a shoal draft, deep draft, and a lifting keel designed for the best of both.

The performance lifting keel is a safe, stable, & convenient system using hydraulics to lock the keel at one of 2 fixed positions – either fully deployed or fully tucked.

When deployed, the performance draft is 8’4″, when retracted, the draft measures in at 4’1″ …

The keel pivots on a structural support on the hull, keeping the entire system watertight.

The keel will deploy in under 30 seconds and retract in 20 seconds.

Other Keel Options

The popular new 34 foot cruiser has two other keel options in addition to the lifting keel, a shoal draft and a deep draft. See below outline for different options.

Used Beneteau Oceanis 31 Lifting Keel for sale

Beneteau oceanis 31, the review of our community on the beneteau oceanis 31 lifting keel, why trust us , already 17 boats sold through us, all about oceanis 31 lifting keel version, océanis 31 lifting keel: everything you'd expect from a big boat, except the draught.

At 'only' 9.30 metres, the Océanis 31 is the baby in the range , but it's determined to keep up with its bigger siblings. When you step on board, it's hard to believe that the boat is only 31 feet long! The open transom and cockpit give it a 'big' look, as does the steering wheel, which would have been unthinkable on a boat of this size just a few years ago. The rigging is as simple as it is effective.

The mainsheet is returned to the roof, forward of the ramp, while the genoa winch remains within reach of the helmsman. The sail plan of this Océanis 31 is well suited to each of the proposed draughts (1.80 m in GTE, 1.30 m in PTE), but the lifting keel version is by far the most interesting for those who sail tidal waters. It enables the boat to pass from a draught of 2.27 to 0.95 metres. The ballasted centreboard is retracted into a rudder plank that protects the hull when beached and allows the boat to remain manoeuvrable and even to continue upwind while the centreboard is raised.

The icing on the cake: Océanis 31 Lifting Keels have two rudders whose sole is designed to rest on the ground, without a shore, when beached.

Sailing yachts

Yachts & motorboats

BENETEAU has been building sailing yachts and  motorboats  for all types of boating practices since 1884. Would you like to  buy a new boat ? Leisure boating, short trips, cruising, competitive sailing – whatever type of sailing you envisage, there is a boat to suit you at your local BENETEAU  boat dealer .

BENETEAU: A LONG STORY THAT BEGAN IN VENDÉE 

The story of BENETEAU began in 1884 in the shipyards of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie in Vendée, inspired by Benjamin Bénéteau.  At the time, BENETEAU had close ties with the fishing industry and, at the start of the 20th century, the brand launched its first sailing trawlers and motor tuna fishing boats. 

In the 1960s BENETEAU turned towards the building of recreational craft. In making this choice, BENETEAU actively focussed on  sailing yachts  and motorboats . 

In the 1990s, BENETEAU expanded becoming the umbrella brand of GROUPE BENETEAU. 

WIDE RANGE OF SAILING YACHTS AND MOTORBOATS 

Today, BENETEAU offers a wide range of sailing yachts, ranging from small boats, like the First 14, to big boats, such as the Oceanis Yacht 62, a large monohull as well suited to coastal cruising as she is to ocean navigation. The same is true of the motorboats, with lines of outboard and inboard motorboats for leisure boating, as well as big yachts ideal for cruising. 

This versatility contributed to BENETEAU’s international reputation as a brand, both in the water and at the major boat shows in Europe, the United States and Asia-Pacific. It also helped BENETEAU become a historical player in offshore racing, supplying three generations of one-design boats for the Solitaire Le Figaro single-handed race. BENETEAU also won renown with the First sailing yachts in well-known international races such as the Fastnet, the Sydney Hobart and the Middle Sea Race. 

MORE THAN A BOAT DEALER 

Our BENETEAU boat dealers are also present on international shores, so our after sales service can intervene worldwide. Thanks to our global network a BENETEAU boater can find the best possible assistance wherever he is boating. 

Buying a yacht, sailing yacht or a BENETEAU outboard motorboat is also a chance to join the brand’s community, with BENETEAU boat owner gatherings or rendez-vous, regattas, competitions, rallies, etc. 

You will have realized by now that BENETEAU offers you much more than buying a  new boat . It offers you a real boating experience and shares with you your passion for the sea.
