Used Scanner 361 Sailboats for Sale

The search results provide a good amount of information for the Scanner 361.

Key findings from search results:

• Designer: Nils-Eric Olofsson (confirmed).
• Builder: Scanyacht AB (confirmed).
• Production: Started in 2001. The builder article states "In 2001, Scanyacht introduced the Scanner 361". No end year specified, indicating ongoing or production for several years. Search results show models from 2007 and 2009 for sale.
• Interior Layout: "Planlösningen är genomtänkt med två väl tilltagna kabiner med dubbelkoj i vardera kabin. Vidare ryms här en salong med två längsgående soffor och bord i mitten." - Thoughtful layout with two generously sized cabins with double berths, a saloon with two longitudinal sofas and a central table. "robust and functional design... interior". "When you step aboard you are struck by..."
• Sailing Characteristics: "it is more comfortable than 24% of all similar sailboat designs. This is a comfort value significantly better" (likely referring to the comfort ratio).
• Owner's Perspectives: Mentions of "enjoy owning and sailing" and "high build quality". Discussions about "offshore experiences" exist in forums (for Beneteau 361, but relevant to seeking owners' perspectives on a 361-foot boat). However, these forum results are primarily for the Beneteau 361, not the Scanyacht Scanner 361. This is a critical distinction. I need to be careful not to conflate them. The initial search was "Scanner 361 owner reviews" which yielded some Beneteau results. I need to filter for Scanyacht Scanner 361 specific owner feedback. I will proceed with caution in the owner's perspective section and only use information explicitly tied to Scanyacht Scanner 361 or its general characteristics. The builder article mentions that the "reputation of these yachts often fosters a strong sense of satisfaction among owners."

Calculated Ratios:

• ratio_sa_disp (Sail Area to Displacement) = 19.98
• ratio_bal_disp (Ballast to Displacement) = 0.375
• ratio_disp_lwl (Displacement to Length) = 176.2

All information seems to be covered. I will now generate the article.
