Designed by Groupe Finot, the Beneteau 473 a bluewater sailing yacht. She performs as well as she looks. The twin steering stations allow for extraordinary visibility and ease of handling. The 473 combines extraordinary interior comfort, volume, and light.

Sail handling is a simple task with the Roller Furling main and genoa. Her deck is equipped with ample handrails, wide walkways for easy and safe movement while under sail.

Overview

Built in 2001 by Beneteau, the 473 is a modern fin keeled, mast headed sloop that’s much desired by cruisers who want performance, loads of room, and a great value. She has double, aft-swept spreaders, twin backstays and a baby stay. The traveler is forward of the companionway with mid-boom sheeting and the primary winches are located just forward of the helm station within easy reach of both the helmsman and crew.

The hull is solid glass with an integral grid liner and the deck is cored with balsa. The nearly plumb bow affords a waterline length just three feet shorter than her length overall. This is the shallow draft, bulb keel version, carrying her beam well aft, providing an exceptionally comfortable cockpit with twin wheels on either side of the walkthrough leading from the companionway all the way aft to the swimstep.

The large galley is to starboard and has so much countertop space you could almost sleep on it. This is the two cabin version, which has a larger galley where three can work simultaneously in the area provided. The freezer is top-loading and the fridge has a side door which makes for easy access to refrigerated goods. The twin sinks are on the centerline to drain well on either tack.

The forward-facing nav station is opposite and has a well-sized desk and plenty of bulkhead space to mount instruments. The saloon itself is immense, with a U-shaped settee and bench seat to starboard that can accommodate up to seven around a large table. A slightly curved, two-seat bench is to port. Cubbies are everywhere and there’s no shortage of room for anything you’d want to take on an extended cruise.

There is also a microwave, 3 burner propane stove with oven and access to massive storage area aft of the galley and to starboard that is also accessible from the cockpit.

The master stateroom forward has an island berth and a private head with vacuflush electric toilet and stall shower.

The second cabin is aft and to port has what appears to be a king size berth, that could almost sleep 4, with direct access to the second head with shower that has an additional door in the main saloon, so it doubles as a day head for the boat.

A 63 HP Westerbeke diesel is tucked under the companionway steps. Standard access is from the front and the sides via access panels. The engine will push the boat at over seven knots under power in flat water with minimal headwinds.
