What about the competition?
In terms of price, the Océanis remains very well positioned compared to the rest of the 30-footers on the market, which are wider, but also more expensive. Its narrow width of less than 3 meters and its displacement of less than 4 tons constitute a size that many manufacturers have neglected. The great antagonists of the 30-foot market: Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 319, Hanse 315, Dufour 310, RM 890 are all in a width category greater than 3.30 m. If we look at the same specifications, the main competitors are not recent boats and few models correspond to the Océanis 30.1. The Delher 29 launched in 1998, has been rejuvenated in 2015. Very fast, it exists only in keelboat version, but remains smaller and cramped with a Breton bed in the forepeak which dates a little. The Delphia 29 the Ile St, which is now part of the Bénéteau group, is also equipped with a Breton bed, but manages to offer three cabins by sacrificing the chart table. Ile st is also available in a full dinghy version, an interesting offer. And for those who have the spirit of the adventurer, the sloop of Jean Pierre Brouns " New World "This format is also available in a very robust version made of Strongall.
