The Beneteau Oceanis 311 was designed by the Groupe Finot as a fast cruiser with comfort one might expect from a much larger boat. The integral molded structure gives optimal distribution of keel, rigging and rudder stresses over the whole hull. The bulb keel gives the Oceanis 311 impressive stability while ensuring excellent performance. The cockpit is large and uncluttered with the jib sheets easily accessible to the helmsman.
