Seller's Description

ALMOST A PERFECT 10 … A MUST SEE FOR SURE! “WINE DOWN” is prime example of a 2008 Beneteau 343 in Excellent Condition and truly a solid 9 out of 10. It would be difficult to find a vessel of her age in better in her overall shape, which will result in her not lasting long in this market. The Beneteau 343 was conceived as a lively cruiser with construction features that we’ve all come to take for granted with Beneteau. She is comfortable on deck as well below, easy to handle, maintain, while performing well through a wide range of conditions. Well known as a capable coastal cruiser and a luxurious Day Sailer makes her a MUST SEE. IT’S TIME TO SCHEDULE A SHOWING! DESIGN “Wine Down” has a hull that is voluminous with plenty of freeboard. Her beam is moderate, but carried well aft to somewhere around the companionway to where narrow keel section flares aft. The standard three bladed propeller is supported by a molded skeg and the balanced rudder is placed well aft providing steering control especially when deep reaching.She has a standard draft of 4 feet, 9 inches. Like most newer designs, the 343 incorporates a fairly straight run from bow-to stern-the-look is thoroughly modern. The low-profile cabintrunk softens the lines with a gentle slope forward. The hull is a solid laminate with a structural fiberglass liner glassed in place. The hull and deck are laminated together, in lieu of the more common mechanical joint, and the aluminum toerail is bonded and screwed in place.

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
?

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.
?
<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
