The Beneteau 351 is a family cruiser that's easy to sail with roomy accommodations. It is the 2-cabin layout which gives you a galley which is out of the way and seaworthy. It also gives you a bigger head. Jean Berret was asked to design a cruising yacht that could outperform other production cruisers at that time. He succeeded in designing a coastal sailing vessel that is exciting to sail, but safe as well.
