Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 361 archive details - Yachtsnet Ltd. online UK yacht brokers

Built from 1998 to 2003, the Oceanis Clipper 361 was the model which replaced the very successful and long-running Oceanis 351 model. Designed by Jean Berret and Olivier Racoupeau, the aim was to produce a boat which could serve both the charter and family cruiser market.

The Oceanis 361 was built with a choice of two or three sleeping cabin layouts, and with shallow winged fin or deeper bulbed fin keel options. There was also a less common twin-ruddered centreboard version. The standard engine was either a Yanmar 3GM30 or Volvo 2030, driving through a moulded shaft log

The three cabin layout has up to four double berths, if the saloon table conversion is used, plus one shorter single berth on the port side of the saloon. The two-cabin version has two less berths.

The Oceanis Clipper series yachts from Beneteau all feature extensive wooden trim below, and at the time of the 331/361 models, cane locker fronts for ventilation

The forward facing chart table is small, though adequate for Admiralty Small Craft folio sized charts.

The aft cabins in the three-cabin version as illustraed here are mirror-image identical

Many of these yachts are fitted with in-mast furling for the main, although a standard mainsail was an option. Control lines are led aft to the winch on the port side of the coachroof

The engine is a freshwater cooled Volvo 2030, driving a fixed three bladed prop through a conventional sterntube inside a moulded shaft log

Above and left: the drop-keel version has a centreboard encased in a shallow wing keel, and twin rudders: the boat being able to take the ground balanced on the triangle of keel and rudders
