2006 Beneteau Oceanis 343 Clipper

Listed
$27,000 USD

Seller's Description

MUST SELL SOON - $27,000

Im selling my recently refitted sailboat sadly much sooner than originally planned. Unfortunately I realized that living on a sailboat is not quite the right fit for my dog and I. Its priced for a quick sale.

Currently we are on a very secure mooring in the harbor of Deshaies on beautiful Guadeloupe :)

The boat is the perfect Caribbean cruiser. Sturdy enough for longer passages but easy to handle also by just one person and very comfortable at anchor. Its the 2 cabin layout with a v-berth, one large aft cabin and a large bathroom w/ a shower.

Overall the boat, the engine, the sails and everything else is in good condition and its ready to sail. It is registered under the Polish flag, which can be easily transferred over to the new owner.

Specs: - length: 10.82 m / 36 ft - beam: 3.48 m / 11.6 ft - weight : 6100 Kg / 13420 lbs - keel: 1. 90 m / 6.3 ft - engine: Yanmar 29 hp

At the beginning of 2024 a lot of things were added/replaced: - new AGM house batteries 2 x 210 Ah - new flexible solar panels 2 x 200 Watt - 2 x new Victron solar charge controllers - new Victron battery monitor - new Raymarine autopilot - new Raymarine depth gauge - new alternator and new belts for the engine - refurbished Lewmar electric windlass, plus 60 m / 200 ft. of 10 mm chain was added to the 35 lbs Delta anchor - comes with a dinghy 2.50 m / 8 ft, Johnson 8 hp outboard

The boat saw some damage during hurricane Irma in 2017 while it was out on the hard. The previous owner had therefore in 2021 the standing rigging and most of the running rigging replaced and the mast was spliced professionally.

Note that the relatively low price for this model and age reflects that there are some cosmetic imperfections on the interior woodwork and some bends in the pulpit, pushpit and toerail.

Also I want to mention that VAT on the boat was paid in the BVI. So if you want to sail there and keep her there you would have no problem.

Please dont hesitate to ask any questions you have.

Equipment: Autopilot Depth sensor New solar panels New batteries Electric anchor winch Ice cold fridge Two burner stove w/ oven Dinghy w/ 8hp outboard and much more

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.2 kn
Classic: 7.79 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

9.23 knots
Classic formula: 7.79 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.5
<16: under powered

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
15.45
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
200.9
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
200.9
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
30.8
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
30.76
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.75
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
