2005 Beneteau 473

A proven design that re-wrote the book for comfortable short-handed performance cruisers. Designed by Groupe Finot with elegant lines, extraordinary space, and a practical layout. The interior is an amazing combination of plush settee's, exceptional woodwork, and natural light. A sizable cockpit that is both entertainable and well-equipped.
