The revolutionary Dock&Go

DOCK & GO is the revolutionary solution to manoeuvring your BENETEAU sailing boat easily 

Specifications

Joystick2

An intuitive system

With just one hand, DOCK & DOCK gives you intuitive and enjoyable handling thanks to the use of the "cross-shaped" joystick at the helm. 

Helice D&G

On-board intelligence

A 360° pivoting saildrive base is synchronised with the bowthruster through a computer. 

The helm automatically stays blocked  during the manoeuvre.

Shema

Total control

Moving 90° to port or starboard, forwards, astern and turning on the spot allows you to move the boat in a restricted space and to access the most complicated places in the harbour.

 

Increased safety

DOCK & GO guarantees you increased safety through combining the assistance of the engine and DOCK & GO's own bowthruster system.

Available in Spring 2011, the DOCK & GO solution will be offered on all models equipped with a Yanmar 75 HP SD engine. Therefore, the Oceanis 46, Oceanis 50 and Sense (50’) may be equipped with the DOCK & GO option.
