PRESS RELEASE

Beneteau Monte Carlo 27 - An ingenious and sporty Open

Heralded for some weeks, the Beneteau Monte Carlo 27 is arriving to complete the Beneteau Monte Carlo range at the end of Spring. This Beneteau Monte Carlo range, which has very rapidly found a following and achieved great success, will from now on include five models with the Monte Carlo 37 Open and Hard Top, the 32 Open and Hard Top and soon the Beneteau Monte Carlo 27 Open. Available only in the Open version, this fast, sporty Express Cruiser will be the range’s only single-engine Monte Carlo. The choice of engine is left up to the owner: sporty type petrol engine (Volvo 320HP) or more restrained diesel engine (Volvo D4 260 HP).

The Beneteau Monte Carlo 27 carries on the characteristics of its elders and the Mediterranean philosophy of life out of doors.

Indeed, a great number of the range’s strong points can be found on this model:

STYLE

Italian stamp and unique style of the Italian designer, Pierangelo Andreani Sporty design with stretched lines and curved side windows

CLEVER MEDITERRANEAN LAYOUT

Galley built in to the exterior saloon (only the microwave is inside) in order to optimise comfort in the cabins and head compartment Living space seldom seen in this size of boat without compromising the lines (4 berths including one separate aft cabin with door)

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Two-tone upholstery with over-stitching Instrument panel fitted with central GPS plotter (Raymarine C80) Bow thruster for harbour manoeuvring Translucent sliding door for easy movement around the boat and access to the cabins

AIR STEP® PATENT

Air Step® System (designed by R. Laval Jeantet, P. Tableau and M. Tronquez), which noticeably increases comfort, is quicker onto the plane and reduces fuel consumption. Available from the beginning of the summer, the Monte Carlo 27 will be shown at the new season’s shows.
