2003 Beneteau 473

This 2003 Beneteau 473 is a 47-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat powered by a 65-horsepower Westerbeke diesel engine. The hull is finished in midnight blue, and the boat features teak decks and a teak cockpit floor in good condition. Three cabins and two heads accommodate extended cruising, with a full galley and electric heads throughout.

The boat carries newer Quantum sails including a main, 130% roller-furling genoa, and 110% roller-furling genoa, along with a spinnaker and pole. Deck hardware includes three electric self-tailing winches and one manual winch, plus an electric windlass paired with a Rockna anchor, 200 feet of chain, and 200 feet of rode. A bow thruster and twin helms enhance handling and comfort.

Below deck and topside systems include a watermaker, solar panels, Webasto diesel heater with five registers, inverter, and autopilot. Navigation is supported by Simrad GPS and radar with a repeater at the nav station, plus a satellite receiver. Canvas and soft goods have been replaced, and the engine recently received service with fresh bottom paint applied.

The boat comes with an AB aluminum inflatable tender with a 6-horsepower outboard (requiring service) and a life raft that needs recertification.
