The renewal of the Oceanis ranges is drawing to an end with the Oceanis 343. Berret-Racoupeau’s hull and sailplan are for a well-balanced boat, with a fast average speed, in all conditions; the deep keel contributes to windward ability and safety. Both the full Clipper equipment as standard and the running rigging led back to the cockpit make short-handed sailing easy. The Oceanis 343 offer the most recent Beneteau innovations -a patented steering pedestal with a pivoting wheel, a table and a console for the electronics, a swivelling helmsman’s seat, an offset rear entrance and a recessable companionway step board. Two accommodation versions are proposed; they have in common a forward cabin, a saloon and a galley, all very roomy and user-friendly. Added to the hull ports, the various multiple hatches and ports on the typical split-level coach roof are as many sources of natural light and ventilation as one could ever wish for. The 3 Cabin version can host comfortably a family or a group of friends up to 8 people.
