2007 Beneteau 343

This 2007 Beneteau 343 is a fiberglass sloop designed for cruising the Pacific Northwest. The 34-foot hull carries a full-batten mainsail with stack pack and a furling jib, with all lines led aft to simplify short-handed sailing. A single 29-horsepower Yannmar diesel engine drives the boat to a cruising speed of 6 knots, with a maximum speed of 7 knots. The beam measures 11.42 feet, providing stability and interior volume.

Navigation and helm equipment includes a Raymarine multi-function display paired with autopilot and a Garmin chart plotter. The cockpit is open and practical, fitted with a pivoting wheel that permits easy passage through a walk-through transom. An inflatable dinghy and Mercury 2.5-horsepower outboard complete the equipment roster.

Below deck, two cabins provide sleeping accommodations alongside a bright salon and functional galley. An enclosed head with shower area serves the interior. A spacious workshop located aft of the head is accessible from the deck, offering practical storage and work space. The layout balances comfort with efficient use of space, suiting both weekend and extended-duration cruising.
