Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Finnyacht 351 is a fractional sloop designed by Eivind Still and built by Finnyacht, with production records indicating a build year of 1986. While the exact total hull count is unknown, this vessel represents a specific era of European yacht construction with a displacement of 12125.0 lb.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 35.27 ft LOA and a comfortable 24.31 comfort ratio for shorthanded sailing.
Bluewater capability:
With a low capsize ratio of 2.0 and a displacement of 12125.0 lb, the Finnyacht 351 exhibits stable characteristics suitable for protected coastal passages, though its single build year and limited fleet data suggest caution for extended bluewater voyages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats from the mid-1980s with similar fractional sloop rigs and moderate displacement include the Beneteau First 36 and the O'Day 36, which offer similar coastal cruising capabilities.
