[1][3][5][6] The Oceanis 35.1 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass and available in daysailer or cruising configurations.

It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a plum transom with an optional fold down tailgate, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a wheel and a shallow or deep draft fixed fin keel or a stub keel with a centerboard.

[3] In a review Boat Test wrote that the "Beneteau Oceanis 35.1 offers two-cabin and three-cabin arrangements, and a new L-shaped galley that will make cooking easier and safer underway.

Her large cockpit proves equally useful for daysailing, cruising, club racing, or entertaining on the hook.

An optional fold-out transom makes for easy boarding from the dock, a convenient step into a dinghy for a night ashore, or an ideal snorkeling platform.
