Description: Beneteau 473
Experience the thrill of sailing aboard Starlight II, a proven bluewater Beneteau 473 renowned for its exceptional performance and comfort.

We recently took her for a test sail and were captivated by her speed, manoeuvrability, and effortless tacking. You can check out all the footage on the YouTube video here https://youtu. Be/30AXifTOKQY

Up until August she was also utilised for charter sail training and in survey ( 6pax o/night, 12 daytime), and was only just removed for the sale process. The owner's expertise is available for free sail training upon purchase & request. A great opportunity for beginners, or those looking to maximise her performance.

Designed to accommodate up to 6 passengers with 3 Queen cabins and ensuite bathrooms, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all on board.

Powered by reliable 75hp Yanmar engines, Starlight II is easy to handle, making it suitable for single-handed sailing.

The yacht is equipped with new sails and rigging installed in 2019, ensuring optimal performance, safety and near-new apperance. A recent rigging report from August 2023 provides you with further assurance of safety, integrity & insurance requirements.

She is also equipped for off-grid adventures, with solar panels and other features allowing you to enjoy extended stays.

She has successfully completed a voyage to Thailand and back, demonstrating its capability for long-distance sailing. Its impressive performance makes it an incredible yacht to sail, whether you're a seasoned sailor or a beginner.

Don't miss this opportunity to own a high-performance sailing yacht with a proven track record.
