BENETEAU CYCLADES 43.4

Beneteau Cyclades 43 built-in 2008. Spacious popular cruising yacht, perfect for family sailing

 Designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Beneteau, the Cyclades 43.4 focuses on functionality and spacious living. On deck, the large cockpit with dual helm positions provides comfort whether sailing or simply moving around the boat. The cockpit has been designed to make this yacht a delight for open-air dining, but functionality has not been overlooked with Genoa winches located near to the helm, making maneuvering under sail as simple as possible.

Down below, the layout features 4 cabins. (3 doubles plus Bunk Cabin) The practical linear galley to port has ample work surfaces and sits comfortably opposite the spacious U shaped saloon. There is plenty of well thought out storage space throughout the yacht and generous capacity for both fuel and water mean increased comfort whilst on board.

Brokers Comments: The Cyclades is Beneteau third range, after the Beneteau First and Oceanis ranges. The hull has a lot of volume, the effect of a lot of freeboard, and flare in the hull sides. The rig adopts more desirable characteristics of current racing rigs. The mast is deck-stepped with its load taken by the compression post below. The sail area/ displacement ratio is on the money for a cruising boat of this size. Below this boat is functional, there are three cabins, each with its own en-suite. There is a full navigation area a real showpiece of the Cyclades range.

• The deck is sandwich construction (glass fibre and balsa) for an optimal strength/weight ratio as well as excellent sound and thermal insulation.
• A diamond point? non-slip surface increases safety over all areas of movement on deck.
• The deck is reinforced under deck fittings (winches, tracks, U-bolts, cleats).
• A built-in inner deck moulding gives the deck a perfect finish.
