The Beneteau Cyclades 43.3, sometimes just called the Cyclades 43, is a French sailboat that was designed by Berret-Racoupeau as a cruiser primarily aimed at the yacht charter market and first built in 2007. The series is named for the Greek island chain.[1][2][3][4][5]
The design was also sold as the Moorings 43.3 and Moorings 44.3 for Moorings Yacht Charter and is the same design as the four-cabin Cyclades 43.4.[1][2][6]
Production
The design was built by Beneteau in France, from 2007 to 2010, but it is now out of production.[1][2][7][8]
Design
The Cyclades 43.3 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. The hull and deck are both fibreglass with a balsa core. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders and aluminium spars with stainless steel wire standing rigging. The hull has a slightly raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of cast iron ballast.[1][2][6][9]
The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of Шаблон:Convert for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds Шаблон:Convert and the fresh water tank has a capacity of Шаблон:Convert.[1][2][6]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double berth in the bow cabin and two aft cabins, each with a double berth. The main salon has a U-shaped settee and a straight settee. The galley is located on the port side of the main salon. The galley is of straight configuration and is equipped with a three-burner stove, a refrigerator, freezer and a sink. A navigation station is located in the salon, on the starboard side. There are three heads, one for each cabin. Cabin headroom is Шаблон:Convert.[9][6]
The design has a hull speed of Шаблон:Convert.[1][2]
Operational history
One review reported, "Yachting World's respected yacht tester Matthew Sheahan also mentions the shortage of winches, but he enjoyed his sail in a decent breeze. 'Once the Cyclades 43 is set up she sails well, is stiff, barrels along upwind at just under 7 knots and hits eight with ease on a reach,' he says. 'With a twin wheel system the 43 is rather heavy on the helm, but she remains an easy boat to steer in a straight line and responsive when you want to twist and turn over waves.'"[9]
In a 2010 review, yacht broker Richard Jordan wrote, "the Cyclades 43 is absolutely not a bluewater boat. Other Beneteaus such as the Oceanis series are rated for offshore work. The Cyclades series is not. It is a great coastline sailor. She would be perfect to hop back and forth from the Bahamas and sail around the Caribbean."[6]
