It is a well-balanced cruiser with a mix of performance and comfort. Here’s a breakdown:

Performance

• Designed by Philippe Briand, the Oceanis 350 has a light displacement hull, making it relatively quick in most conditions.
• The sail area/displacement ratio of 16.2 allows it to sail efficiently, though it may struggle in very light winds.
• It features a balanced spade rudder, which improves handling.
• The shoal draft wing keel (4'2") and fin keel (5'2") options provide different sailing characteristics—shoal draft is better for coastal cruising, while the fin keel offers better upwind performance.

Interior Layout

• The Oceanis 350 was designed with chartering in mind, so it has a spacious interior with rounded features and high-volume cabins.
• It typically includes two private cabins—a V-berth forward and a quarter berth aft, though some European models had two aft cabins.
• The cockpit is slightly elevated, which improves visibility. Storage space is somewhat limited due to the focus on maximizing living space, with fewer drawers and lockers.

 Powered by a single 28-horsepower Volvo diesel engine. The engine is designed for reliability and efficiency, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and moderate offshore passages.

The fuel capacity of approximately 20 gallons, depending on the specific model and modifications. This provides a reasonable range for coastal cruising but may require careful fuel management for longer passages.

For transmission, it generally features a direct-drive system, which is common in sailboats of this size. This setup provides smooth power delivery and minimizes maintenance compared to more complex propulsion systems.
