About the MOORINGS 43.3
The same or similar to CYCLADES 43.3 (BENETEAU) Intended primarily for the charter trade.
The Moorings 43.3 is a fractional sloop designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Beneteau in 2007. With a displacement of 19797.0 lb and a beam of 14.53 ft, it offers a comfortable cruising platform, though the exact total hulls built remains unspecified in available records.
- Best for:
- This vessel is well-suited for coastal and nearshore cruisers who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over extreme performance. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it accessible for couples or small families seeking a reliable charter-style experience.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.15 and a displacement of 19797.0 lb, the boat is stable for coastal passages but lacks the heavy displacement and robust construction typically preferred for extended bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 423 and the Lagoon 42, as they share similar production eras and focus on spacious interiors and user-friendly sailing characteristics. The Oceanis 423 is particularly relevant due to the shared Beneteau manufacturing lineage and similar fractional sloop configuration.
