2003 Beneteau 57
For sale is a stunning 2003 Beneteau 57 model, which is considered one of the best yachts ever built by Beneteau.
Designed by Bruce Farr, this flagship yacht was created to be a performance cruiser that offers all the comfort and safety for sailing around the world. The yacht features a centre cockpit sloop design that allows for easy handling by a couple. In addition, it also has an in-boom main sail furling, an electric headsail furler, a self-tacking jib, and a hydraulic vang, which makes sail handling a breeze. A recent sail inventory includes a main sail, genoa, self-tacking jib, spinnakers and storm sails.
The interior is beautifully finished in Cherry wood timber and this version offers 4 cabins with an owner's stateroom and ensuite aft, forwards are two double cabins with ensuites. A cabin with double bunks is in the aft companionway with a day head beside it.
The centre saloon is spacious with 2.15m headroom throughout, a U-shaped galley is on the portside separated from the saloon, and the galley is capable of catering for large groups aboard.
This Beneteau 57 has many options fitted to make life at sea comfortable and has continually had maintenance and upgrades. New standing rigging was fitted in 2020, along with a hull soda blast strip. Recent works include a new bow thruster, new windlass, new heads, new sails, and more. With new antifoul in late 2023 this Beneteau 57 is ready to sail away on new adventures.
