2009 Beneteau Oceanis 43

This 2009 Beneteau Oceanis 43 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built for extended passages. At just over 41 feet in length with a beam of 13.4 feet, the hull displaces 8,875 kilograms and draws 190 centimetres. Power comes from a single Yanmar 4JH5E diesel engine rated at 53 horsepower, which has logged 3,200 hours and receives professional maintenance.

The four-cabin layout includes one cabin with bunk berths, providing sleeping for ten when the saloon table is converted. The galley features a stove and large refrigerator, with pressurized hot and cold water throughout. Tank capacity includes 400 litres for fresh water and 240 litres for fuel. A 2024 Plastimo tender with a 3-horsepower Tohatsu outboard serves as the ship's boat.

The sail plan comprises a jib on a furler upgraded in 2023, a full-batten mainsail with three automatic reefs, and a staysail on a removable forestay, plus a symmetric spinnaker. An electric winch was fitted in 2024. Navigation and communication equipment includes a Raymarine plotter added in 2024, VHF radio with AIS capability and dedicated AIS transpondeur, and a Raymarine autopilot. An electric anchor winch handles ground tackle.

Recent updates include new mainsail covers and a new roof canopy installed in 2025, along with a revised 10-person life raft. Engine batteries and two 110-hour service batteries are from 2024. An electric anchor windlass and bathing ladder complete the ground tackle and boarding arrangements.
