All about Oceanis 31 Lifting Keel version
Océanis 31 Lifting Keel: everything you'd expect from a big boat, except the draught!
At 'only' 9.30 metres, the Océanis 31 is the baby in the range, but it's determined to keep up with its bigger siblings. When you step on board, it's hard to believe that the boat is only 31 feet long! The open transom and cockpit give it a 'big' look, as does the steering wheel, which would have been unthinkable on a boat of this size just a few years ago. The rigging is as simple as it is effective.
The mainsheet is returned to the roof, forward of the ramp, while the genoa winch remains within reach of the helmsman. The sail plan of this Océanis 31 is well suited to each of the proposed draughts (1.80 m in GTE, 1.30 m in PTE), but the lifting keel version is by far the most interesting for those who sail tidal waters. It enables the boat to pass from a draught of 2.27 to 0.95 metres. The ballasted centreboard is retracted into a rudder plank that protects the hull when beached and allows the boat to remain manoeuvrable and even to continue upwind while the centreboard is raised.
The icing on the cake: Océanis 31 Lifting Keels have two rudders whose sole is designed to rest on the ground, without a shore, when beached.
