Beneteau Oceanis 320
Description
The Beneteau Oceanis 320 is a compact aft-cockpit cruiser designed by Philippe Briand and built by Beneteau in France from 1987 to 1991. As an early model in the Oceanis line, it was crafted for family coastal cruising and weekend getaways, offering a surprising amount of interior volume and stability in a trailerable package. With approximately 200 units produced, it's valued for its solid fiberglass construction (hand-laid with balsa core deck) and balanced performance—owners describe it as "elegant and effortless" for protected waters, though it's limited for bluewater due to modest tankage and headroom. Variants include a wing keel (4.59 ft draft) for shallower drafts and basic vs. equipped interiors.
