Description
Snufkin epitomises the family sailing yacht for the UK East Coast. She is fitted with many great options and is presented in good order with one family owning her from new in 2010 to 2025 when she was purchased by a Director here at Fox's Yacht Sales.
She has the benefit of shoal keel and a sugar scoop stern enabling her to offer the best of both worlds for river and coastal sailing whilst still offering the option for trips to Holland, Belgium and France.
Her standing rigging has been renewed in August 2025 and she has a new coat of antifoul whilst out of the water. Anyone who has experience of the Brunton's feathering propeller will be aware what a huge difference they make to economy and performance.
Inside she is immaculate and clearly loved with good quality, clean surfaces and upholstery in light colours to give the greatest feeling of light and space. With a good list of Beneteau options she presents well.
Standing headroom in the saloon for my 6'1" height was welcome, as was the easy galley with dual sinks and a large fridge. The huge berth in the separate aft cabin offers comfortable sleeping for taller people as well. With another separate cabin forward offering a 'V' berth with infill and straight berths to the saloon, she is good for sleeping six crew.
Furling headsail with new UV strip and a slab reefing to the main work well and her simple rig and new standing rigging will set the sails well.
We sailed her the 25 miles or so from her home port to Fox's and were pleased to see she has the performance expected of a hull which can draw its roots back to Beneteau Figaro race yachts. She sailed extremely well, cutting comfortably through the waves and providing decent speed with her white sails which set particularly well. Under engine she accelerated and stopped well with the Brunton's prop biting confidently. She is available to view on our hardstanding at Fox's Marina.
Sails
The jib and main in white Dacron offer a balanced rig, both being 24.6 sqm. Slab reefing with two reefs on single lines lead back to the cockpit for easy control without needing to go to the mast. The lazybag looks in great order and with a potential for 8 knots under white sails she is a sprightly performer for a cruiser.
The asymmetric cruising chute offers additional speed and flexibility with its striking colours and being in good order. She comes with a snuffer for ease of handling.
Design
As the range entry model, the Océanis 31 bears a strong family resemblance to her larger siblings by combining elegance with ingenuity for maximum cruising pleasure.
Interior by Nauta Yachts giving a mix of privacy for the cabins but space in the saloon, heads and galley. The yacht itself, designed by Finot Conq, makes the Oceanis 31 a joy with her easy handed yet fluid hull form.
