Simple and practical The Oceanis 31 will immediately jump to, is well on the (vorbalancierten) rowing and performs each control movement accurately.
Even with little wind rudder pressure is sufficiently available, so that the helmsman «feel» the ship.
Rigging and sails are simple but kept practical. The 9/10-rig comes naturally without running backstays and with only a pair of spreader is easily set.

A propos trim: it is in the first line to benefit the traveler and boom vang well. In the "Easy Sail" Option backstay a fine adjustment is also provided - but not with the cockpit guided translation, but with a kind of rigging at the tail. In practice, there is probably nobody who screws in changing wind conditions ...

The sails of Elvström are also appropriately selected: a only slightly higher than Rounded mainsail and a 105% -Genoa. To simplify keeping it off, the mainsail is equipped with lazy jacks and Genoa can be rolled up. The helmsman will find directly behind the control console or the windward side, respectively in Lee, several good steering and controling positions - standing as well as sitting. He has the Genuawinsch anytime close at hand, the mainsail has to be handled over the larboard halyard winch on the cabine roof.

The cockpit is surprisingly generous for a 31-foot yacht. The crew has to circulate enough space, as well as to sit comfortably or even lie. Cleverly designed, the (optional) Cockpit table, the front is attached to the steering column and can be folded down.

Generous and practical

From outside coming inside, register first the light-flooded living room of Océanis 31.
After this you will think: "only 31 foot boat length?" hard to believe! With a clever line choice - clear, straight shapes and little round elements - it is the designers of Nauta Design has managed to convey the feeling of a larger yacht.

The Italians are active primarily on superyachts and understand their profession. At the coffee table, with a L and a longitudinal bank, can sit comfortably 5 or even 6 people. The one half of the table can be folded down to allow access to the forward cabin. On the starboard side is - against traffic - a small navigation area.

It's just big enough to stand a laptop. Who wants contrast navigate "right" on a map, will put more on the coffee table. Directly behind the navi-corner is the wet room with toilet, sink and a large mirror cabinet. Headroom: 182 cm. Ever applies here: The surprise space for a 31-foot yacht. On many a larger yacht can not sit so comfortably with your legs straight on the toilet ...

Starboard side, opposite the wet room, there is the L-shaped galley. With 2 sinks (!), A 2-burner gas cooker, a refrigerator and various lockers also meets the expectations absolutely. In the forward cabin you feel the first time that you are on a "small" Yacht. after all: Headroom 180 cm, 200 x 150/40 cm bunk, a wardrobe and various small storage compartments are not bad fundamentals.

Truly magnificent - and in most cases probably the owner's cabin - but is the aft cabin. She is inviting bright, no trace of uncomfortable or cramped. She has a total of 3 opening hatches, whereby especially the one in the back at the mirror surprisingly brings a lot of light into the cabin and also ensures a very good ventilation.

In the entrance area, the aft cabin has 180 cm headroom, she has a wardrobe, a small bench and especially a berth of amazing 230 x 180 cm. This is aligned transversely and the only downside is that the person further back have to climb over the front if they want to get up. Because no locker taking up space on the port side, however, the clear height above the bunk is surprisingly large.
