ONE OF THE BEST EQUIPPED AND MAINTAINED 473’S TO HIT THE MARKET IN RECENT TIMES. METICULOUS ONE OWNER BOAT.
The Beneteau 473 has a reputation for its solid feel and sleek hull shape which leads to superb sailing performance. People who have sailed a 473 in heavy seas are delighted with the sea-kindliness and steady motion. The cockpit is large and safe, dual helms allow for good control on either tack and for docking, while freeing up the center of the cockpit for the crew; wide side decks & good hand holds on the coach roof allow safe passage to the bow. The granny bars at the mast serve many purposes.
Quantum Leap is a 2 cabin-2 head vessel and has an interior that is laid out for optimum ‘liveability’. It has a spacious galley to starboard of the companionway; nav station with good access to electronics & electrical panel, a very comfortable salon and large forward/master cabin with centerline berth & en-suite head.
Quantum Leap is a one owner boat and she has been well maintained and upgraded over time. The captain has sailed her many thousands of miles up and down the East Coast, single-handed, so the boat is loaded with cruising gear and equipment that make life on board easier for single-handing or living aboard.

A the top-opening freezer and front-opening fridge & oven are situated along the hull-side. Cabinets & drawer storage above and below counter level.

The aft cabin is to port of the companionway & has a large double berth & storage locker. One of the cushions has been removed (but is available) to create centerline storage. Forward of that is the aft head which can be accessed from the cabin or from the salon. Between the head and the port settee is the forward facing nav station with ergonomically friendly seat that has storage below & the inverter below. The nav station has the electrical panel to port and electronics strategically positioned for easy-monitoring of the vessel systems.
The salon consists of a large U-shaped dinette to starboard, with a bench amidships and a 2-person settee to port. The bench provides added storage. The table lowers to form a double berth and has a leaf which can be removed, but in place it allows seating for 6. Upholstery is cream ultra-leather. Peek-a-Boo blinds on portlights. Overhead fixed windows provide light and numerous hatches provide ventilation.
The door to the forward/master cabin is offset to port. The cabin has plentiful storage – port and starboard and under the bunk. It has three opening hatches for light and ventilation. The queen-sized berth has as an inner spring mattress with foam topper & can be accessed from either side at the foot.
