The Beneteau 373, also called the Beneteau Oceanis 373 and Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 373 is a French sailboat that was designed by Berret-Racoupeau as a cruiser-racer and first built in 2004. The "Cipper" version includes some optional equipment as standard.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The design was built by Beneteau in France, starting in 2004, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [3] [7] [8]
The Beneteau 373 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop masthead sloop rig, with two sets of swept spreaders and aluminium spars with stainless steel wire standing rigging. The hull has a slightly raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. It displaces 146170NaN0 and carries 38670NaN0 of cast iron ballast or 48440NaN0 of ballast with the shoal draft keel.[1] [2] [3] [6] [9]
The boat has a draft of 6.07feet with the standard keel and 4.75feet with the optional shoal draft keel.[1] [2] [3] [9]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 23JH4E diesel engine of 400NaN0 for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2] [3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four to six people in two or three cabins. It has a double "V"-berth berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. A second aft cabin with a double is optional. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an icebox and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located aft, on the starboard side.[1] [2] [3] [6] [9]
