| Being the direct result of collaboration
between the design offices of Jean Berret and Beneteau, the 361
could not have been born under better auspices.
Longer and more canvassed than her predecessors, the 361 Clipper
is a powerful and seaworthy boat, which will take you anywhere
you want in the greatest comfort and safety. Her hull is a derivative
of an old FIRST hull, which was very renowned for good upwind
performance and balanced downwind tracking. The 361 manages to
replicate these features of her hull's former raison d'etre. All
control lines are lead back aft to the cockpit to make the boat
simple and safe to use, even when short-handed. The genoa winches
are situated close to the helm position to further enhance usage
in this way. There is an old adage, which says, "if she looks
right, then she probably is"! Nothing could demonstrate this
better than the 361. Good clean hull lines, long waterline ratios,
good stiff ballast ratios, sleek coachroof lines, ergonomic cockpit,
spacious side decks, the 361 just gets it all right, from every
angle.
