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 ‘livability’. 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 mostly in the Chesapeake Bay and south to Florida. The boat is loaded with cruising gear and equipment that make life on board easier for single-handing or living aboard.
Equipment and upgrades include:
Bottom painted June 2023 and hauled in November, so you can take a Quantum Leap and go cruising soon!
