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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
