We moved to Europe…. so unfortunately we’ll have to find a new caring home for our comfortable cruiser and nimble competitive beer can racer based on one of Beneteau’s most successful hull designs.
Fresh water boat in Lake Michigan!
Full cruising set up as well as racing set up. Lots of extra’s!
Continuously upgraded and very well maintained (see list of upgrades). This is arguably the best kept Beneteau First 310 around! Just in the last 4 years in over $15,000 in upgrades!
“Tibateau” is a deep draft 31’ vessel drawing 5’8”. In keeping with the revolutionary designs of the 1990’s the stern sections run broad and make for a large aft stateroom to port and a large lazarette under the starboard bench in the cockpit. This vessel is fast around the cans, with a displacement of only 7500 lbs. and a combined sail area of 460 sq. ft., the SA/D ratio is over 20, “Tibateau” ghosts along in light air and really comes into its own once the breeze picks up to 10 knots. The sweet spot is in the teens, where the boat shines and easily gets into a groove with a light and well balanced helm. When racing the state of the art 130 and 155% jibs and deep keep ensure a fabulous pointing angle. When cruising the comfortable roller furling is high cut for visibility and maximum comfort. For downwind courses there is both and A-symetrical spinnaker set from the removable Selden bowsprit or the traditional spinnaker.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Also called BENETEAU 310.
The FIGARO SOLO, FIRST 310, FIRST 31.7, OCEANIS 300, and OCEANIS CLIPPER 311 share the same hull. The FIRST 310R has tall rig and deeper keel.
TALL RIG:
I: 40.10’/12.22m
J: 10.80’/3.29m
P: 41.30’/12.59m
E: 13.00’/3.96m
SA (100%): 9:484.99 ft2/ 45.06 m2
