Description: |
The Beneteau Oceans 43 is both beautiful and practical. The hull and deck plan are designed by the Berret- Racoupeau Design office which has created an aesthetically powerful and attractive yacht with remarkable sea keeping qualities. The interior architecture and design are by the Italian designers of Nauta Design. "Astraea" is the 2 -cabin layout with lots of storage creating a light and airy atmosphere. Forward, the V-berth cabin has walk-about room, a dressing seat, a variety of stowage, and a private head and shower compartment. In this two-cabin version, the complementary cabin aft, on the starboard side, has a huge athwartships berth in addition to standing room and ample places to stow clothes and personal effects. This cabin has its own door to the main head, which contains a shower stall. The saloon offers a large table with seating on three sides. Both settees are long enough to serve as single berths. There is an aft-facing chart desk at the foot of the port settee. A continuous line of lockers tucked under the side decks ties the entire area together visually and extends to the galley, furnishing it with numerous eye-level storage cabinets. The galley is tucked aft, to port of the companionway, where a well-braced cook can reach the necessities: stove, front-opening fridge, top-loading freezer, drawers, and work surfaces fittingly guarded with solid fiddles. A visually appealing companionway is well proportioned, and the immediate area upon entering the cabin offers plentiful handholds: stainless-steel bars on either side of the ladder and on the head partition, plus the galley fiddles facilitating safe ingress and egress.
