Polaris - Beneteau Oceanis 30.1

Polaris is a Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 in our Berkeley Silver Plus Fleet. With a striking, modern profile featuring a hard-chine hull and slender bow, Polaris is designed for agile handling and spirited performance on all points of sail. Her twin rudders provide exceptional control and a responsive helm feel, making her a delight to sail short-handed or with a full crew. She features a convenient in-mast furling mainsail and a dedicated helm pedestal. This setup allows you to easily set, reef, and put away the sail from the safety of the cockpit, while the pedestal offers an additional secure platform for adjustments near the mast—a significant advantage when managing the Bay's notoriously shifty breezes. A spacious cockpit accommodates up to 6 sailors comfortably on day sails.

Below deck, headroom is 6.5 feet in all areas where it is possible to stand. To port at the base of the companionway, an L-shaped galley offers storage, a 20 US gallon refrigerator, and a two-burner stove and oven. The large head is divided into a marine toilet on one side and a shower and washbasin on the other. Open entryways and lengthwise berths give Polaris's two double cabins a spacious feel. The cabins can comfortably sleep 4 overnight and the benches in the salon provide extra sleeping space for 2 more.

Recognized by Cruising World and Sail Magazine as Best Boat of the Year, the Oceanis 30.1 balances comfort, style, and performance. Charter Polaris from our Berkeley location for an unforgettable day or multi-day adventure. Discover firsthand why this boat is a game-changer for our Silver Fleet rated members cruising the San Francisco Bay!

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

    The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.
