BUILDERS COMMENT:

‘For many leisure boat owners, the idea of a boat with a lifting keel that combines stability, beachability, ease of use and speed is something of a contradiction in terms. But with the Oceanis Clipper 311 Beneteau has tackled the problem and come up with a solution that is both innovative and well-tried.

Take Stability for a start: the ballast has to remain below the hull, even with the keel up. Hence the choice of cast-iron external ballast added onto the hull. For Speed. Groupe Finot has designed a shaped cast-iron pivoting keel with excellent hydrodynamic characteristics. The hull is always easily controlled by the two rudders.

When drying out, the Oceanis Clipper 311 rests on the winged forward part of the external ballast sole and on the two solid rudders (strengthened for this purpose), creating a highly stable tripod.

Finally, handling the keel could not be simpler: since the external ballast/keel assembly remains permanently under the hull, the weight of the keel can be kept down low to a moderate 300kg. A simple mechanical jack is all that is necessary to raise or lower it without effort.’
