Bénéteau Oceanis Clipper 311
Sailing yacht built in 2000A handy, safe and versatile cruiser from Bénéteau’s successful Oceanis series. The Oceanis 311 is well known for her forgiving sailing qualities, uncomplicated handling and the high level of comfort she offers on board. She is an ideal entry-level yacht for sailors who value safety and ease of operation, while at the same time providing ample space and equipment for young families. The bright and welcoming mahogany interior feels particularly inviting thanks to numerous deck hatches along with hull and deck windows. In the owner’s version, the Oceanis 311 comes with two cabins and a large starboard locker. The swing keel combined with twin rudders allows access to shallow waters, making her the perfect companion for the Bodden, the Wadden Sea and other tidal cruising grounds.
This Oceanis 311 is a well-maintained owner’s yacht sold by her first owner (never chartered). She is equipped with a swing keel and twin rudders, which also enable easy drying out. This makes her ideally suited for shallow waters such as the Bodden or the Wadden Sea. The owner has invested continuously in maintenance and equipment: the engine was overhauled in 2019, new navigation instruments were fitted in 2022, and in 2020 the underwater hull was completely rebuilt. Most of the running rigging is Dyneema. As the owner has done a great deal of single-handed sailing, the yacht has been optimised accordingly. She is lying on the German North Sea coast, available for viewing by arrangement and ready for immediate delivery.
