Beneteau 331 Non-Furling Mast
Description
Beneteau 331 with optional non furling mast. The Beneteau Oceanis 331 is a classic French family cruiser sailboat designed by Groupe Finot (now Finot-Conq) and built by Beneteau from 1998 to 2001, with approximately 500 units produced. Part of the Oceanis line, it shares hull DNA with the performance-oriented First 331 but prioritizes spacious interiors, ease of handling, and coastal cruising comfort for couples or families. With a wide beam and roller-furling rig, it's known as a "deceptively large" 34-footer that's forgiving and quick in light airs, earning praise in a 2016 boats.com review as a "popular and powerful" entry-level cruiser ideal for weekends or short passages. The Clipper variant adds charter-friendly features like enhanced galley fittings. CE Category A ocean-rated, it features a bulbous bow for stability and options for shoal draft in shallow waters, though its capsize screening (~2.0) suits protected coasts over heavy offshore use.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
