Manufacturer Provided Description
Designed by Groupe Finot, the Beneteau 311 is fast and comfortable, featuring many characteristics expected from larger boats. Its hull and integral molded grid system create an extremely strong and stiff structure. The bulb keel, despite its moderate draft, provides impressive speed and excellent performance under sail. The large sail area is divided between the mainsail with long battens and the moderate overlap furling genoa. The deck layout is simple and efficient, with a large cockpit featuring slatted teak seats. Standard features include lazyjacks, a quick reefing system, and a solid boom vang. Below deck, the galley is equipped with a gimbaled stove, stainless steel sink with pressurized hot and cold water, and ample storage. The head includes a marine toilet, wash basin, shower, and plenty of storage. The symmetrical salon consists of two settees flanking a large drop-leaf table. The 311 has two cabins – forward and aft, with the private forward cabin featuring a large V-berth and generous storage.
