Overview
About this vessel
The perfect sized family cruising boat that has been well set up to live aboard.
Inside this 3 cabin version, space and light are the key words. The panoramic windscreen is fitted with blinds built into the deck moulding. Inside each cabin and in the dining area, fixed portholes in the hull add an elegant touch of brightness at eye level, while the many opening portholes and hatches ensure perfect ventilation of the whole boat.
The level of comfort apparent in the saloon is, quite simply, impressive, as is the headroom. The forward cabin features an island berth and ensuite. The 473, an exceptional cruising home, has become one of the best classic blue water yachts, well respected all over the world.
Large L shaped galley to starboard and two aft double bed cabins.
Since acquiring in 2020, the current owners have used Rothali as a Sydney base where she is berthed in Newport at the RPAYC. The mast was removed and standing rigging replaced. A brand new Yanmar 75hp engine was installed in 2023 to ensure maximum reliability, and a new bow thruster tunnel and unit installed to assist with manoeuvrability. New batteries, new canvas work — all to a tune of well over $100,000.
Rothali represents a great opportunity to purchase one of Beneteau's most popular cruising boats.
