The Beneteau Oceanis 340 is a capable and well-balanced cruising yacht, offering an appealing combination of sailing performance, easy handling and comfortable accommodation. NIRVANA is a great example of a design that delivers both enjoyable sailing and practical cruising features.

Under sail, the Oceanis 340 points well to windward and delivers good speed. Under power, her manoeuvrability is equally impressive, making her easy to handle in crowded harbours and busy marinas. With a balanced spade rudder, she turns readily and tracks well when reversing, inspiring confidence in close-quarters situations. The rigging was replaced in 2021.

Her solid feel under sail and power is supported by robust construction, including an integral fibreglass grid and hull liner bonded to a solid fibreglass hull, bulkheads bonded through 360 degrees to the hull and deck, and a resin-infused end-grain balsa-cored deck. The fibreglass rudder, stainless-steel stock and Goïot cable-and-quadrant steering provide responsive handling, while the B&G autopilot operates quietly and efficiently. The Yanmar engine is immaculate and with an incredibly low 700 hours on the display, has just been serviced November 2026 and is ready to go.

On deck, the Oceanis 340 has been thoughtfully laid out for ease of movement and safety. Wide side decks, non-slip surfaces, teak toerails and teak handrails extending forward to the mast provide secure footing when moving around the yacht underway. Access from the cockpit is straightforward, making life on deck comfortable and practical for both cruising and day sailing.

The spacious cockpit features wraparound seating, offering plenty of room for relaxing or entertaining. The helm position provides good visibility, with the option to sit to either side of the wheel for sail trimming or directly behind it to monitor the chartplotter and instruments mounted on the steering pedestal. The angled deckhouse bulkhead also provides a comfortable backrest for crew.

Storage is another strong feature. The centre section of the aft cockpit seat lifts to provide easy access to the swim platform, while the port aft seat lifts to reveal the gas bottle and additional storage, with room for items such as a life raft or fenders. The large starboard cockpit locker offers generous space for cruising equipment, water toys and would accommodate an inflatable dinghy plus outboard.

A cabin-top winch positioned to port of the companionway handles the halyards and other sail-control lines, keeping the cockpit uncluttered. The companionway hatch is also cleverly designed, allowing the drop boards to slide up and stow beneath the sliding hatch when not required. This arrangement provides flexibility, allowing ventilation while retaining protection in unsettled weather.

Below deck, the interior, designed by Nauta Design, feels remarkably spacious for a yacht of this size. The wide beam carried well aft creates a generous living area, complemented by warm Alpi woodwork, light upholstery and an abundance of natural light and ventilation through the ports and hatches.

The saloon is particularly inviting, with long, comfortable settees that can double as sea berths when fitted with lee cloths. The folding leaves of the saloon table provide flexible dining space for up to five or six people, making the area well suited to entertaining or relaxing after a day under sail.

The practical galley is located on the port side and features a two-burner stove and oven, an aft-opening refrigerator with integrated small freezer and a double stainless sink positioned close to the centreline. The head (electric with holding tank) is conveniently located to starboard of the companionway and benefits from a durable gelcoat finish, along with several ports providing natural light and ventilation.

The aft cabin offers a generously sized athwartships double berth, a hanging locker and additional storage. Opening ports, including one in the transom, assist with airflow and ventilation. There is also convenient access to the side of the engine.

Forward, the private cabin features a good-sized V-berth, a hanging locker to starboard, shelves on either side and additional lockers to port, providing practical storage for extended stays aboard.

NIRVANA offers a well-considered balance of sailing performance, ease of handling and comfortable accommodation. With her responsive sailing characteristics, practical deck layout and surprisingly spacious interior, the Beneteau Oceanis 340 is an appealing choice for coastal cruising, weekends away or longer adventures.

The Saga 34 is a classic, heavily built fiberglass cruising sailboat modeled after traditional Scandinavian design (often styled as a Norwegian pilot cutter) and famous for its offshore capability. 

Design and Build

• Builder & Mold: Originally molded by craftsmen like Charles Ward (with variations produced across different northern European yards such as Selje Bruk A/S).

• Hull Construction: Hand-laid fiberglass solid hull built to be stout and heavy rather than lightweight.

• Keel & Rudder: Full-length keel with a rudder attached to the trailing edge, giving it exceptional directional tracking and heavy-weather composure.
• Length overall: 38ft including bowsprit and pushpin.

• Draft: Around 1.68m to 1.78m (approx. 5.5 to 5.8 feet) depending on load.

• Capsize Screening: Features a Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) value of 1.52, meaning it meets standard metrics for ocean-racing and offshore approval (and has historically qualified for endurance events like the Golden Globe Race framework). 

Sailing Characteristics

• Handling: Well-balanced and forgiving under sail, making it manageable for short-handed or solo voyagers.

• Rig: Typically configured with a simple, manageable masthead rig that keeps the sail plan low and reduces excessive heeling moments.

• Motion at Sea: Thanks to its heavier displacement and full keel, it offers a soft, predictable motion in a seaway rather than the choppy pound of lighter modern production boats.

2013 Knysna 500 Owner's Version — "WIZ"
Lavranos-designed bluewater catamaran | 15 kWh lithium + 3.4 kW solar | Two owners | Lying Pittwater, Sydney

15.24m (50'), 1.22m draft (4'), 8m beam (26'), 15 kWh (1200AH @ 12v) of lithium, 600 L fuel capacity, 600 L water capacity and a Rainman watermaker: WIZ is a step-on, fill-the-tanks-and-go world cruiser — or the best coastal cruising apartment you could dream of.

Built by the Knysna Yacht Company in South Africa, the 500 model is a hand-laid foam-sandwich catamaran with every bulkhead glassed in — no screwed-in furniture doing structural work, less creaks underway, and hull and deck interiors faired and finished rather than hidden behind trim panels. The escape hatches sit high and inboard of the forward showers, well above the waterline, where they also serve as ventilation that can be left open in rain.

WIZ has only had two owners. The first was in partnership with the Knysna factory, and she served as the company's boat-show yacht. The current owners come from a family of boatbuilders and have been cruising the world for more than twenty years. That experience is visible in every system aboard.

What separates WIZ from the other Knysna 500s on the market is the custom helm cover and the integrated tender lift system. Care was taken to carry the lines of the boat through into the solar arch, the helm cover and the rigid side curtains. Nothing is simply bolted on. Lavranos's original lines are intact.

"The best prepared and presented boat of her category I have had the privilege to list." — Rod Waterhouse, DBY Boat Sales

All importation duty has been paid.

Built in Hobart in 1985 for offshore races including the Melbourne to Hobart race. Later she was moved to Melbourne where her current owner bought her, 26 years ago. Since then, DOUBLE TROUBLE has been based on Akuna Bay and sail around Broken Bay and the ocean. The current owner has enjoyed the yacht for an impressive 26 years, which tells any buyer that the desinged Joe Adams 'got it right'.

DOUBLE TROUBLE is a fast yacht especially "well mannered" boat with performance, ease of handing and no hidden 'nasties'. Unlike many Adams 10's that are primarily set up as day racers. 

DOUBLE TROUBLE features a practical cabin, keeping crew dry and comfortable when offshore and proving a cosy option for overnight stays in secluded bays. Her fractional rig and manageable sail plan makes her easy to sail even short-handed. 

Inside, the boat is especially clean and bright for her age.  All the sailing gear is well used but has been expensively ugraded recently. 

The brand new rigging in November 2025 was carried out by Empire Rig Gosford, NSW - the work cost $20,000. The mast was lifted with all standing and running rigging replaced. The rig between the hull was remade and strengthened. The work was not cheap, but the next owner will have safety, security, and strength.

Immaculately presented and lovingly maintained throughout her current ownership, DOUBLE TROUBLE is a well-mannered and capable yacht that offers an excellent combination of sailing performance, comfort and ease of handling.

Highlights:

• Built in Hobart in 1985 for offshore races including Melbourne to Hobart
