"Author! Author!" is the nicest, cleanest, and most well-equipped Beneteau 473 that you will see on the market.
Her owner has spared no cost in her upkeep and sails her regularly. She was built in 2003, but you would think she is brand new. She's never been chartered. No other boat on the market is outfitted better. No work needed. She is ready to set sail today!
She's sea-kindly and fitted out so that her owner can single-hand her, but roomy enough to sleep 6. She'd make a great cruising boat for a family, with a private aft-cabin and two separate heads. There is nothing that she lacks! Let's go see her!
