43' Beneteau 2005 "Vela Navis"

Summary

The Cyclades 43 has the classic French style sloping coach roof paired with a horizontal stripe along the sides. The bow is nearly plum for a 38′ waterline length. The sheer is straight from stem to the sugar scoop stern.  

With a draft of 6' 5", bulb keel and spade rudder, the 43.3 is perfect for the sandy shoals of the Bahamas. The forefoot is deep and sharp with a good knuckle giving her a tremendous traction underway. The tall rig has 61′ air draft which is both powerful and ICW friendly. The mainsail is large and balances nicely with a small fractionally rigged headsail.

• The portside galley is equipped with a twin basin stainless sink, propane stove and top-loading ice box/refrigerator/freezer surrounded by a formica countertop. Across is the dinette arrangement that converts to a berth. The headroom is 6’6″ throughout the cabins and saloon.
