Vela
Beneteau Oceanis 44cc
Vela is a Beneteau Oceanis 44CC. The “CC” in the model name stands for "Center Cockpit," indicating that the boat has a centrally located cockpit. Center cockpit sailboats are known for providing a separate and often elevated space for the helmsman, offering increased visibility and a more protected position in rough seas.
The Oceanis series by Beneteau is generally designed for cruising and comfort, with features that make them suitable for both short and long-distance sailing.
The specific characteristics of the Oceanis 44CC would include a spacious interior, well-designed accommodations, and features that cater to the needs of sailors who prioritize comfort during extended voyages.
