Seller's Description

The Beneteau Oceanis 373 is a proven blue-water cruiser with excellent performance under sail and power (a PHRF of 135) and is a safe, comfortable, two stateroom boat with 67 headroom. It should be noted that a 373 won her class in a past Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC).

Cariad is in an exceptional, turn-key condition and has in-mast furling, a bow thruster, davits, a life-raft, a generator and a host of other custom features. All running rigging is led back to the cockpit maximizing safety and convenience while underway.

Cariad has two large staterooms, a v-berth forward and a queen-sized bunk in the aft cabin. There is ample storage aboard. In the cockpit are three large lazarette/lockers and below, there is storage both beneath and behind the settees, two hanging lockers in the fore cabin, one in the aft cabin and additional custom storage in the saloon.

Cariads shower stall, with its electric toilet (selectable fresh or sea water) (installed 2015) is massive in comparison to other boats in her class. She has a L-shaped galley with a fridge, a chest freezer, twin sinks, a microwave and a two-burner stove and oven fueled by twin propane tanks in a cockpit locker. The well ventilated and airy saloon has a large, forward facing navigation desk and has custom built cupboards and bookcase. The cockpit has a walk-through transom, a fold-down teak table and a patented swiveling helm. There is a fresh water shower at the transom swim platform and a sea-water wash-down at the bow. Please see below for a more complete listing of Cariads equipment.

Cariad has had one owner from new who has meticulously maintained her. Most major undertakings were conducted by a local boatyard that is widely considered the most capable yard in the region.

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.4 kn
Classic: 7.68 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

9.36 knots
Classic formula: 7.68 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
19.1
16-20: good performance

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.
19.06
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
33.3
<40: less stiff, less powerful

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

33.29
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
183.4
100-200: light

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
183.39
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.1
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
23.08
<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
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.02
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
