Bénéteau Oceanis 473 (sailboat) for sale

This Beneteau Oceanis 473, DELU, is a popular cruising yacht, offering a comfortable interior, good sailing characteristics and generous accommodation for family and friends. DELU is Solent-rigged with an in-mast furling main sail, genoa and a jib. As is inherent to a Solent rig, the genoa and jib are not designed to be flown simultaneously. When sailing downwind, however, the spinnaker pole can be used to set the two headsails on opposite sides, making the most of the available sail area. DELU is powered by a 100hp Yanmar diesel engine and is equipped with a bow thruster, solar panels, and a portable generator. She also features a Raymarine navigation suite, with instruments at both steering pedestals and the chart table. Further equipment includes a sprayhood, bimini with side panels, numerous protective covers, davits, and a tender with outboard engine.

Below deck, this Beneteau Oceanis 473 offers a comfortable three-cabin layout with a warm and inviting interior finished in cherrywood timber and veneers. The traditional styling gives the yacht a timeless character without feeling dated. Natural ventilation is provided by multiple opening hatches and dorade vents. The saloon features a dining area to starboard with a bench seat and U-shaped settee, complemented by a small settee and cabinet to port. Forward, the master cabin offers a comfortable double berth and a private ensuite bathroom with a separate shower stall. The two aft cabins include double berths, hanging lockers and shelf storage and share the second bathroom. For those looking for a comfortable easy-to-handle cruiser, DELU is certainly worth considering.... whole text » less text
