2005 Beneteau 473 3-Cabin

Listed
Expired
$189,000 USD

Seller's Description

The owner bought this boat in 2011

Standard features

Named Boat of the Year by Sailboat magazine when introduced in 2001. Hermosita does everything well, cruising, racing, entertaining, or just hanging out on the water. Hull No. 615 makes Hermosita one of the last boats built in the world’s largest cruising class. Traditional three cabin, three head layout with rare, full length port side galley is excellent for entertaining.

Extensive refit in 2019/2020 including new stove/oven, refrigeration, counter top, toilets, bath fixtures, electrical panel, bow thruster, West Marine RIB on custom davits and all new RayMarine instrumentation. Recent dinette re-upholstery. Interior woodwork professionally refinished. Recent main and 120% genoa along with a spare NEW main. Rebuilt sailbag and new windlass controller. Fresh bottom paint 2021.

Custom full-coverage bimini and dodger with new clear-view areas. Four 100-watt flexible solar panels zipped on to bimini provide auxiliary power. New Garmin 770s chartplotter and Simrad radar. Chartplotter installed on custom helm mount. LifeSling and horseshoe ring. All interior lights converted to LED and new 120V electric panel conversion from previous 220V panel.

I am sorry to let her go but due to health reasons I have no choice. Hermosita is a truly well-equipped boat ready for fun and adventure.

Calculations

Hull Speed
12.1 kn
Classic: 8.87 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

12.07 knots
Classic formula: 8.87 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.4
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.
17.44
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
33.6
<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

33.6
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
128.7
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
128.7
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
24.4
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
24.35
<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 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
1.96
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Draft(deep keel):6.92’/2.11m
Ballast:(deep keel):7,275 lbs/3300 kgs
Also called, or similar to, OCEANIS 473.
A number were purchased for the charter trade.
