Overview

This boat does not sell with a dinghy and outboard, but both can be purchased locally, and Horizon Yacht Brokers can procure on the buyer's behalf. 

Beneteau Oceanis 473 Clipper for sale. This vessel is in excellent condition, with the current owner having owned it since 2004. Below decks, the traditional upholstery is in immaculate condition and the brightwork is excellent. There is a vast amount of storage space available in both lockers and under the sole. The galley is well-equipped, with a compressor fridge and separate freezer.

The sailplan is easy to use, featuring an inner forestay complete with a Harken furler and staysail which complements the 135% Furlex furling genoa. The fully battened mainsail has three reefs and a stack pack and all control lines are led aft to the cockpit. The Gori folding propeller eliminates any drag, and the inboard Volvo diesel engine is powerful and has low hours. Coupled with a bow thruster, this makes for easy maneuvering in confined spaces. Back-up power is provided by a whisper generator, with solar panels producing approximately 25Amps into the house batteries.

The arch-mounted solar panels incorporate a cantilever lifting frame for the RIB, operating via an electric winch, and a davit is fitted to lift the outboard. The current owner has put the vessel ashore for at least six months every year throughout their ownership.

This vessel is ideal for bluewater cruising and offers an impressive sailing experience.  The boat comes with everything needed to go off sailing you need only bring your personal possessions.
