The design was built by Beneteau in the United States, but it is now out of production. It was also called the Oceanis 361 and was marketed as the Moorings 362 with a two cabin configuration and as the Moorings 363 and Stardust 363 with three cabins, for use primarily in the yacht charter business.[1][3]

Design

The Beneteau 361 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin bulb keel. It displaces 13,349 lb (6,055 kg) and carries 4,156 lb (1,885 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel fitted. It was sold in three cabin configurations, two cabin, three cabin and with a main saloon.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta 2030 diesel engine of 30 hp (22 kW). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 125 U.S. gallons (470 L; 104 imp gal).[1]

The design has a hull speed of 7.47 kn (13.83 km/h).[4]

gollark: I have more problems getting to sleep for reasonable amounts of time than staying awake anyway so things.
gollark: I've never actually tried coffee. Perhaps I should at some point.
gollark: I had to actually read the manual. It was very annoying.
gollark: I'm not entirely sure about long term future of Earth things, but this is at least before the end of the sun's lifespan, so it's probably fine.
