Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 Sailboat Tour 2021 (PTC Walkthrough)

[@pezpengy9308]

soooo interested in this for a trailer. no slips available for 2 years here and would rather berth it in my front yard anyway.

I feel you! I would also greatly prefer the freedom of a trailer. There is a half-joke going around that a significant factor in choosing a spouse is their posession of a slip on the nearby lakes.

In California you can tow this with the proper vehicle and the annual permit for loads over 8.5 feet wide but under 10 feet wide.

This Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 has 4 keel options and an optional foldable mast! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn_OmI16opaSiqc

I think this boat is a day cruiser only. Doesn't seem to be for anything else.

[@parttimecrazyboats5468]

I think you are somewhat right. It would obviously make a lavish day cruiser. On the other hand our expectations are always based on our experiences. I see it as an ideal owner's boat. Many sail and keel options. Small enough not to cost a fortune, but big enough to comfortably explore say Scandinavia or the Med for a season. If I were looking for a boat to charter in a small group - ex. family only - it could also be a good choice. The answer is, as always, it depends. People have successfully crossed oceans in 21 foot boats. And people have perished in 60-footers. In my research I heard in passing of at least one couple happily circumnavigating the world in an Oceanis 30.1 Would a larger sailboat be more comfortable and possibly safer? Sure! But strictly foregoing the third cabin the 30.1 actually has more storage and is more comfortable (large head) than a bigger boat (with more cabins) refitted after charter (which has to be a popular option considering a large supply of and thus lower prices for (after-)charter boats)
