"Very well-equipped as standard and designed to combine performance, interior space and elegance, the Oceanis Clipper 373 invites you set sail serenely. It puts the open sea within your reach, outside, as well as inside, and allows you to comfortably host friends and family." Oceanis 373 Brochure
Sheekasay is a true New England boat having spent her entire life between Rhode Island and Maine. Well equipped from the factory and improved upon by both owners, Sheekasay presents and feels like a much newer vessel. Ready to cruise this season this is a great opportunity to own a Beneteau Oceanis 373 in above average condition.
Construction
"Designed in accordance with European RCD requirements and CE certification, these regulations ensure that the Océanis Clipper 373 incorporates the minimum safety requirements including: • Safety and protection of persons on board. • Durability of materials. • Stability and safety. • Safety when maneuvering. • Fire protection. • Protection of the environment and reduction of engine emissions.
Hull:
The hull is single-skinned GRP construction. Reinforced points (keel, rudder, chain plates, hull-deck joint) help to strengthen the structure.
A structural inner molding is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (shroud chain- plate tie rods, keel, rudder, etc.), and spreads any loads guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull. The surface material of the inner molding makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish.
The standard hull is white in color.
Deck:
The deck is sandwich construction (glass fibre and balsa) for an optimal strength/weight ratio and excellent thermal and sound insulation.
A “diamond point” non-slip surface increases safety over all areas of movement on deck.
Hull/Deck Joint:
An open-work aluminum toe rail is bonded and screwed to the deck. This assembly technique ensures water- tightness of the hull/deck joint and provides safety during movement on deck.
Keel:
The keels (deep and shallow draught) are cast iron. To improve their durability the keels are given an anti- corrosion treatment and improved finish in the factory before assembly, using epoxy based coatings and paint. The keel is screwed to the boat with a stainless steel backplate and bonded.
Steering:
-
Composite stock under-hung rudder
-
Column-mounted pivoting steering wheel (Bénéteau patent)
-
Metal cable transmission system
-
Emergency tiller"
