Friends! Meet a Player 311 for only 5957 euro.

Location: Norway

Length: 9.5 meters
Draft: 1.8 meters
Beam: 3.0 meters
Keel: fin
Displacement: 3,000 kg
Engine: Volvo Penta, inboard diesel
Fuel capacity: 79 liters
Fresh water capacity: 79 liters
Cabins: 1
Sleeps: 4
Rig: fractional sloop

The Player 311 is a practical sailboat for those starting out in sailing or seeking a manageable boat for coastal trips. The size is forgiving for new sailors, and handling during docking is predictable. Maintenance and mooring costs are modest.

This boat is easy to sail solo or with family. The rig is straightforward, and the roller system for the sails adds to the user-friendly setup. The hull was sanded to fiberglass in spring 2025, with new primer and self-polishing antifouling applied.

The interior is warm and cozy, with space for four to sleep comfortably. The galley is simple and functional, with a two-burner stove and pressurized water. There is a large water tank and a holding tank, so several days at anchor are possible.

The electrical system was fully renewed in 2025. There is a 200 Ah leisure battery, 80 Ah starter battery, solar charging, and an 800 W inverter for 220V power. This setup supports both cruising and remote work.

The engine is original Volvo Penta. There is a minor injector issue at low RPM, causing extra diesel soot. This does not affect propulsion or general operation. The price reflects the need for future injector service.

⛵ Sails: mainsail, genoa, jib, spinnaker

📡 Navigation: autopilot, GPS, wind instrument

⚡ Power: solar panels (2024), batteries (2025), inverter
