A fantastic example of this 43 from Beneteau and the Berret Racoupeau design office.  Little used but well maintained, being sold due to owner’s business commitments, this is an excellent chance to buy and “as new” 43.  Yanmar 54hp engine with drive shaft transmission. Only 30 hours run – June 2010.  In ready to go condition.  Viewing essential.

Description

The Hull and deck plan are the work of the Berret Racoupeau design office. Their designs have led to the creation of an aesthetically powerful and attractive yacht with remarkable sea keeping qualities.

The interior architecture and design are by Nauta Design. This great Italian name, a bench mark in the super yacht world, has helped the Oceanis 43 achieve her true personality; one of contemporary lines where luminosity, comfort and well being take precedence on board.

Construction

The hull is of single-skinned GRP construction. Local areas of reinforcement (keel rudder, chainplates and hull/deck joint) serve to strengthen the structure. A single-skinned structural inner moulding is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses as pressure points (chainplates, tie rods, keel, rudder, etc) ensuring their distribution and so guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull. The surface of the inner moulding makes cleaning easier and provides better finish.

The deck is of glass fibre and balsa sandwich construction for optimum strength/weight ratio as well as excellent heat and sound insulation. All working areas and areas of movement around the deck are provided with non-slip “diamond point” finish.

• Fin Keel attached via a system of screws and stainless steel backing plates and also by bonding.
• Underhung counterbalanced rudder with stainless steel stock.
• Steering via twin helms and 2 leather five spoke wheels.
• Metal cable transmission.
• Deck access point for emergency steering and emergency tiller.
