Beneteau Sense 43

The Beneteau Sense 43 is a Berret-Racoupeau-designed fractional sloop built by Beneteau since 2011, featuring a fin keel with a bulb and dual rudders. This luxury cruising sailboat has an LOA of 13.2 meters, a beam of 4.3 meters, a draft of 2.0 meters, and displaces 10069 kg. Beneteau prioritizes interior volume, high freeboard, and amenities like folding transoms, electric winches, and in-mast furling in its Sense series.2:38 While popular for coastal cruising and island hopping, these production boats typically have lighter construction and less space for custom additions than heavier bluewater vessels.5:18 Buyers should inspect the bilge matrix and keel-to-hull mounting points for stress cracks, especially on high-aspect keel models.8:34
