The Bènèteau Oceanis Clipper 311 was introduced
at the London Boat Show in January 1998, and features the
same level of finish and equipment as others in the "Clipper"
series of yachts.
Designed by Groupe Finot, she is based on the basic hull design
of the "Figaro" racing class, and hence offers good
performance as well as a quite luxurious standard of fit-out.
Most yachts sold were fin keel versions, the lifting keel
versions, with twin rudders being more popular in France than
in the UK. When lowered the lift keel gives a sailing draught
of 7' 1", considerably deeper than the fin keel version
of the same boat. The toed-out twin rudders mean that
one is usually near vertical - and hence working very efficiently
whilst sailing. |
