A year of ownership
Each at its Gauge Value, on a South Coast marina berth, 44 engine hours a year (the median of 103 UK-listed sailing boats that report hours). An estimate in pounds from published rates, not a quote.
Each line is the middle of the cited range, to the nearest fifty pounds. Depreciation is a year of age on each model's published curve, at its Gauge Value, and stays out of the totals.
Neither model has a published depreciation curve, so depreciation is withheld on both sides.
Fuel is left out of both totals: for the Beneteau Oceanis 323, fewer than three of its listings give the engine power.

Which holds its value better?
We can't say yet: neither has a published depreciation curve, and we fit one from at least 20 boats across six build years and publish it only when the fit holds. We have 14 Beneteau Oceanis 323 boats across 5 build years. We have 19 Hunter 36 boats across 13 build years.
Which spends less time on the market?
Boats of the Beneteau Oceanis 323 had been listed a median of 1,445 days when we last saw them, against 36 days for the Hunter 36. That is time listed so far, not time to sell, which we don't measure yet. 14% of the Beneteau Oceanis 323 boats we saw 14 or more days apart cut their asking price, against 22% of the Hunter 36 boats.
How do you compare them like for like?
We compare boats of the same build year. For each of the 5 years both models have boats in, we take the ratio of their median asking prices in today's prices, then pool the years, giving more weight to years with more boats on both sides. The figure is Indicative because the thinner side has 8 boats in those years.
