Launched in 1997, this was the second-largest model in the Océanis range. Her hull, drawn by Bruce Farr, is essentially the same as the sporty First 45F5 and she has a good turn of speed under sail. She has been equally successful as a large family cruiser and a charter yacht for a couple of families, and a blue-water home for a couple – although some have suggested her build quality is on the light side for serious ocean-bashing.
