Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 373 in beautiful condition - "Sea Belle"
We have owned and treasured "Sea Belle" for the past 6 years and are sad to be parting with her; with our age and medical issues catching up it is a sensible but very a reluctant Sale.
Fast sailing and beautifully fitted this Beneteau is made for comfort both at sea and in port. The 373 is a development of the highly successful 361 with a refined deck layout giving sleeker lines and making moving around easier. It boasts a spacious interior with a massive 1.9m headroom throughout.
The saloon layout has been improved by swapping sides for the wrap around seating and the front facing chart table to yield a highly workable galley and better chart table access.
This is a two cabin version with the Studio Nauta interior design features with a huge double cabin aft, a generous V berth forward, an additional double drop down option in the saloon allows to sleeping for up to six. The L shaped galley is to port and the head to starboard in a separate shower room which will amaze you with it's size.
With all ports opening there is an abundance of light and ventilation throughout. She has been extremely well cared for and the interior reflects that with its rich feel of high quality Beneteau joinery which remains in beautiful condition.
Sea Belle is lying at Hastings on Westernport Bay south east of Melbourne and is a brilliant example of this popular and rare Beneteau model in Australia. She was first launched in January 2007.
o An out of water insurance survey was carried out and approved in September 2023
o A Gas system survey was carried out and approved in September 2024
o Slipped, polished and antifouled, zinc prop shaft anode replaced annually and cutlass bearing checked or replaced; last return to water 26 September 2024

Remarks
Please be aware that there is minor damage to the starboard toe rail about amidships as you can see from the two last photos. This was present when I purchased Sea Belle over 6 years ago and is of no structural importance. Aesthetically it is certainly not pleasing but is not visible from anywhere but alongside..
In the interests of truthfulness I wanted you to be aware so there are no surprises.
I guess we should remember that this is not a new boat and there are likely tto be some "warts", this is the only one that I know on Sea Belle.
