Should you buy an older Beneteau sailboat? In this Practical Sailor boat review and yacht tour, we examine the Beneteau Oceanis 361 to see what a 25-year-old production cruiser offers today. We look at its sailing performance, two-cabin and three-cabin layouts, cockpit, galley, separate shower, and features that matter to a cruising couple or a sailor handling the boat alone.
If you’re buying a used Beneteau 361—or comparing affordable cruising sailboats such as the Catalina 36, Hunter 356, Jeanneau Sun Odyssey, and Bavaria 36—condition matters more than the badge. We cover what to inspect before buying, including wet deck core, keel bolts and grounding damage, rudder bearings, engine hours, and former charter use. Is an old Beneteau a bargain or an expensive project?
