Beneteau Oceanis 31

Interested in buying one of these boats. Does anyone have comments?
Does anyone have the YM review of July 2008? Can't seem to access it and have disposed of my 1990s and 2000s copies of YM!!

I found this. Hope that it helps.

We chartered one in the bay of Naples in 2009. Nice little boat with decent sailing performance (as you’d expect from Finot).

The interior was stylish. and of a decent size for a 31 footer. My only real reservation was the athwartships double berth in the aft cabin. With the boat rocking at anchor, it feels very strange to be trying to sleep that way round. I guess in time you’d get used to it.

Drifting a teensy bit, I'm very impressed with the slightly larger sister 331. If, as I suspect, the build and performance is similar, very not bad at all.

Agreed but just too big for our berth.

Small forecabin bunks, but otherwise a nice little boat.
