Description
The Beneteau Oceanis 311 Clipper was designed as an all-rounder, providing a rewarding sailing performance that is easily managed by a small crew, providing comfortable accommodation below deck. On deck, the mid-boom mainsheet keeps the cockpit clutter-free, creating a generous outdoor living space. Below deck, the boat offers accommodation for a maximum of six with two double cabins and a sensibly sized heads compartment. With her current owners since 2006 the Beneteau Oceanis 311 MIMULUS offers a two-cabin double cabin layout along with two additional occasional berths in the saloon, complemented by a single large heads compartment and a functional galley. Her large cockpit tent and fitted cockpit cushions create an additional all-weather living space in the cockpit.
