After just launching, I back the boat out of the crane basin. The wheel and new digital shifter are buttery smooth and light.
The boat is quick and stable requiring the lightest of touches on the helm.
For more information on this boat or any others in the Beneteau line-up, please contact Paul Briant.

Hello Paul, I've never seen a 46.1 or a 51.1 with those helm consoles before, and the throttle mounted right where it should be...Can you cast some light on that for me please? Kind Regards.

A mask at the helm? Seriously?
