Interlude
Owners’ Notes
i
WELCOME ABOARD INTERLUDE!
Dear Guests:
Our 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 41.1 is a wonderful choice for your cruising vacation. As veteran Pacific
Northwest sailors, we looked carefully for the perfect San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands cruiser. We
found it in
Interlude
and you’ll treasure every day ab
oard her.
CABIN:
Interlude
has a comfortable salon with three cabins and two heads, both equipped with electric
toilets and showers. All beds are queen-sized and the salon settee converts to a berth. The aft head
includes a convenient folding shower stall. The galley has a gas stove, microwave, sink, refrigerator/freezer,
and a complete complement of cooking tools, spices and accessories. The large drop-leaf dining table in the
cabin has built-in wine storage, in true French fashion.
COCKPIT:
The spacious cockpit features a massive drop-leaf table. Twin helms allow for outboard steering
and clear sightlines forward. The electric swim deck provides access to the dinghy and is a great spot to hang
your feet in the water. Engine controls are on the port side, and the B&G multi-function display (MFD)
pivots, so
it’s
easily visible from either helm. An all-season dodger and bimini keep you warm and dry; full
cockpit enclosures are available upon request.
ELECTRONICS & ENTERTAINMENT:
Interlude
features a state-of-the-art navigation and instrument system,
making your travels easy and safe
. She’s equipped with B&G’s
Zeus
2
full-color touchscreen chartplotter and
multi-function display (MFD)
, B&G’s patented SailSteer system, Triton multi
-function display, autopilot,
radar and AIS. The MFD supports multiple panels on one screen to customize the information presented. It
includes tide and current displays, photo overlays, sun and moon charts, and many more useful features.
We’ve added
a 40-inch Samsung 1080p HD SmartTV

with DVD/Blu-ray player in the salon for a rainy day.
A FUSION audio system with Bluetooth and USB connections lets you enjoy your favorite music throughout
the boat, and it can be controlled from the Zeus
2
MFD. Books, movies and games are available in the salon,
and there are warm throws for late-night stargazing in the cockpit.
ENGINE:
With just under 18,000 lbs. of displacement, the 45hp Yanmar with saildrive has plenty of
power.
Interlude
has a 53-gallon fuel tank, providing a cruising range of nearly 500 nautical miles.
HANDLING:
Interlude’s
Finot-Conq-designed hull has hard chines in the stern sections that increase
interior volume and reduce heel.
Interlude
has a flat bottom, a deep single spade rudder and a 7ft 2in
deep keel. Bow thrusters make docking in small marinas surprisingly easy.
SAILING:
Interlude
is a true pleasure to sail
, it’s easy to get her “in the groove” for well
-balanced sailing.
A furling main and genoa makes deploying and reefing the sails easy, with all lines accessible in the
cockpit. The chined hull gives greater stability and speed in higher winds
–
she flies in 20 knot winds!
In musical terms, an interlude is a “pause” or “respite”
between movements. It’s our hope that your
travels aboard
Interlude
are a time of rest and enjoyment for you and your guests. We love sailing in this
part of the world, and we’ve chosen the best boat to make
your charter memorable.
Wishing you smooth seas and fair winds,
Bob and Wendy Hatheway
Lin and Susan Lindsey
