2007 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 343

This 2007 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 343 is a 35-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat designed by Berret and Racoupeau. The hull prioritizes interior space and natural light while delivering steady performance across varying conditions. The boat draws 5 feet and features a beam of 11 feet 4 inches, making it well-proportioned for coastal and offshore sailing.

The sails include a new mainsail from 2023 and a 110 genoa refurbished in 2020 with fresh sun protection. Both the mainsail and jib are equipped with in-mast and jib furling systems respectively, with new furling lines and bearings installed in 2024. Running rigging was replaced the same year, and most blocks have been upgraded. A Yanmar 3GM diesel engine producing 27 horsepower powers the boat, supported by three 110Ah AGM house and start batteries installed in 2022. A dripless shaft seal was fitted in 2021, and the raw water pump, internal coolant pump, belts, and raw water impeller were all serviced or replaced by 2022. The bottom was professionally sanded and repainted in August 2024.

Below deck, the boat sleeps four across two spacious cabins—one aft and a V-berth forward. A galley includes a two-burner propane stove with oven and a 12-volt refrigerator. The single head features a shower with a drain pump installed in 2020. A 12-ton air conditioner operates on shore power, while cabin lighting has been converted to LED. Bilge and toilet systems feature new Gulper and JABSCO components as of 2021 and 2025 respectively.

The electronics suite centers on Raymarine equipment: a 9-inch Axiom chartplotter with integrated AIS, wind and speed instruments, and an autopilot. Navigation aids include a GPS signal booster, marine band radio, and an ACR Global Fix EPIRB from 2020. Two 200-watt flexible solar panels mounted on the bimini were added in 2025, paired with new Victron MPPT charging and battery monitoring systems. The cockpit includes a bimini with lights, hot and cold stern shower, and substantial storage in the lazarette. Two 30-amp shore power cables feed an internal transfer switch. New anchors—a 33-pound Rocna main and Fortress stern—are aboard, along with a spare Delta anchor.
