Product Overview

Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

Bénéteau chose the Valencia base of America’s Cup defender Alinghi to introduce the latest offering in the Oceanis range, the Bénéteau Océanis 43. It was a smart idea for two reasons. First, the warm, reliable wind and flat, blue water created near-perfect conditions.

Secondly, compared to the America’s Cup Class mutants, screeching with tension and scorching the harbour with technological white heat, the Oceanis range was cool, calm and characterful. A familiar face.

Certainly Bénéteau ‘s mass production philosophy is hugely successful but the boats­-for-all approach has deterred some buyers.

With the Bénéteau Océanis 43, they’re hoping to deliver a more personal experience, more style and attention to detail.

The sailaway price of £133,000 suggests it’s still the Bénéteau we know and love, but the full ­length saloon windows signal a new mindset.

Bénéteau Océanis 43 Under sail

The oversize primary winches (a nod to ease of ownership) easily trimmed us to 35-40° where she felt comfortable.

At the twin wheels, smallish at 915mm, there was reassuring weather helm as she made about 6 knots in 10-12 knots of breeze over a slight chop, albeit with unladen tanks and lockers.

The Bénéteau Océanis 43 tacked promptly through about 90°, dropping to 5 knots before the full main and 140% genoa on the 9/10, twin spreader rig picked her back up to speed.

Jean Berret designed the boat to heel between 5-18°. She slows beyond 20° and, as I found out when overpressed, rounds up at around 25°.

Bénéteau confirmed that any good cruising boat is a compromise of comfort, volume and performance. Provided you begin reefing when the wind exceeds 15 knots, rounding up isn’t an issue.

The genoa furling line leads to the port primary, so you’d need to fly a sheet if shortening sail on starboard or use the port cockpit winch.

We furled and single-line reefed with ease and steerage wasn’t a problem thereafter.

The halyard winches are also a good size but we noticed the coach roof flex below the winch while reefing. Again I mentioned this to Bénéteau and they reassured me that it won’t be a problem on production boats.

Bearing off, the steering became more leisurely, gaining an assured touch I hadn’t noticed upwind, still responsive but tracking steadily.

The Bénéteau Océanis 43 beam reached deliciously at 7-9 knots in 14-18 knots. Broad reaching with white sails, 5-6 knots in 12-18 knots was comfortable, if unspectacular.

A cruising chute added a knot or two to the deeper angles and a bigger smile to the helmsman’s face.

The tackline was rigged in reverse during our test sail and, when the chute refilled after collapse, the bow roller twisted visibly. Rigged correctly, Bénéteau say it’s not a problem.

Twin leather-bound wheels offer a fine view ahead, standing or comfortably seated, but don’t swing the wheel too low to windward, you’ll trap your fingers against the coaming.

The instruments are mounted on the bulkhead behind each wheel, so they’re easy to read but pushing buttons to change function could be tricky.

The primary winches are more than big enough and each within reach of a wheel – good for short-handed tacking.

The cockpit, easily big enough for six, is comfortably deep and the moulded base of its fixed table is perfect for bracing.

Under the starboard helm seat, there’s a cavernous lazarette with maintenance access to the steering quadrant.

Moving forward there are well placed grab rails as far as the mast and further forward the 2in teak toerail offers secure footing. Each toerail has four good-size drains with three 1 Sin cleats.

The lack of fairleads meant fore and aft springs missed the stainless steel antichafe strips. and the aft cleats were only 2in from the split backstay terminals.

I mentioned these prototype niggles to Bénéteau and production boats will have antichafe strips extended by 6in and the aft cleats will be moved further clear.

Below decks

We sailed the three-cabin version. There is a two­ cabin version with an L-shaped galley next to the companionway.

As you might expect, there’s excellent stowage above the cabin sole, including innovative lockers behind the saloon backrests. There’s very little bilge stowage but that’s the price you pay for excellent headroom.

The light below is striking. With full-length smoked glass windows in the coach roof. hull ports and twin decklights just aft of the mast, the saloon is flooded with light.

Light and space: 6fi 3in headroom forward, thanks to a 2in drop in the cabinsole.

Again, there are enough handholds below, both obvious and cleverly concealed, to keep you sure-footed without disturbing Nauta’s Italian design lines.

Ventilation is also excellent and the 6ft 8in headroom enhances the sense of space.

Through both 5ft 8in aft cabin doors, you’ll find 6ft 3in headroom (the same as the en suite heads) leading to 6ft 7in bunks with storage below the outboard shelving, plus a hanging locker in each.

There’s more space than you’d expect in both cabins, but that’s because the cockpit lockers aren’t deeper than the cockpit.

Forward (the berth I’d chose), the 6ft 3in headroom in the cabin and heads is maintained by a neat 2in step down.

There’s shelving either side of the 6ft 7in double berth and a hanging locker. Given the focus on owner comfort, it’s a surprise that both heads are to starboard. Heeled beyond about 15° on starboard tack, both flush air.

Under power

With our three-bladed fixed prop, the Yanmar 54HP offered 6 knots at 2,000rpm and a shade over 8 knots flat out.

The Yanmar runs smoothly at all revs and, although the soundproofing is fairly basic, it’s quieter at high revs than one might expect below.

The Bénéteau Océanis 43 turns in 1.5 times her own length ahead and twice her length astern, largely thanks to the keel’s modest chord length and the flat underwater profile.

Motoring astern at over 3 knots, expect to wrestle with the wheel. That’s not unusual, but the size of the wheels makes it more of a factor than I’d expected.

Construction

Hull construction is single skin GRP. reinforced at the keel, rudder, chainplates and at the hull/deck joint and the inner moulding, also single skin GRP, is bonded and laminated in place. Bonding and screws secure the glass fibre/balsa sandwich deck to the hull.

Our test boat’s 6ft 6in cast iron keel (there is a 5ft Sin option) was bolted through stainless steel backing plates and bonded in place, and there’s a stainless steel stock on the 5ft Sin rudder.

The Bénéteau Océanis 43 boat has a greater emphasis on design and attention to detail than the standard Bénéteau.

Built as an ‘owner’s boat’, she aims to deliver light, space and luxury. She achieves the first two better than the third but, as the price suggests, she’s not in the luxury market.

The saloon windows are distinctive, adding flair usually associated with more expensive marques. And they work wonders below in the spacious, welcoming saloon.

The forecabin is the best of the bunch but there’s plenty of space throughout.

On the downside, both heads on the starboard side makes life a little inconvenient on a long starboard beat.

Upwind she needs reefing in anything over 1 S knots but she’ll go well in lighter airs under full sail. Offwind, you’ll want a cruising chute.

Beneteau Sense 43

• By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: August 4, 2011

Want to create some buzz at a boat show? Show up with a very sleek 50-footer, park it in a very tight, very conspicuous place, then spin it around on a dime every couple of hours to the crowd’s cheers and applause. That’s just what French boatbuilder Beneteau did in introducing its new Sense 50 to North America during last fall’s U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland ( see our complete gallery here ).

Wayne Burdick, the president of Beneteau USA, described the new design as “revolutionary,” and I’d agree. Many of today’s “new” models are evolutionary variations on earlier designs. The Sense 50 and its smaller sibling, the 43, which made its U.S. debut at the Miami boat show last winter, instead owe their origins to fresh thinking and a clean sheet of paper.

“The concept was how does somebody really use a boat, and what are the goals to bring that real use to a new level?” said Burdick. The idea for the Sense line dates back several years, and was first given the code name LAO, an acronym for “living aboard open.” The thought was to build a boat with plenty of room in the cockpit for entertaining and with living accommodations that aren’t buried deep in the hull, thus making the interior bright and accessible to both sailors and their non-sailing guests.

Add to that design brief the new Beneteau Dock & Go system—a software-driven bow thruster, autopilot, and rotating saildrive—and you have a boat that’s bound to get noticed. And the Sense line has. In its first year, the Sense 50 sold out its production slots; the company had expected to build and sell 40, but as of June, Burdick forecast that 70 should come off the production line in France by the end of August, the close of the company’s financial year. The 43 is tracking well, too, he added. The first hull wasn’t available until March, and more than 30 should be sold this year. The company plans to introduce a 55-foot Sense at the Paris boat show, and it will be available Stateside in 2012.

Following the Miami show, I sailed the prototype of the 43 in a fairly moderate breeze of about 10 knots, with only light chop ruffling the protected waters of Biscayne Bay. With its Seldén in-mast furling mainsail and self-tending jib set on a Facnor furler, we scooted along at 5 knots. The boat’s twin helms, driving paired rudders, felt smooth, and we tacked nimbly through 100 degrees. Cracked off to a reach, we gained another knot, and we picked up still more speed—to just over 7 knots—when we rolled out the code zero.

Designed by naval architects Berret Racoupeau, the Sense “look” includes a hard chine that runs along the aft third of the boat, just above the waterline. This, plus considerable beam that’s carried all the way aft, helps minimize the angle of heel while under way. These boats, says Burdick, are intended to be quick, easy to handle, and sail fairly flat.

Topside, the deck and cockpit layouts are clean. You step aboard across the boat’s open transom and past its dual helms, each with a gas shock-assisted seat that folds up and out of the way when in port. Large cockpit lockers provide ample storage for gear and toys, and there’s a dedicated life-raft locker between the wheels. A teak cockpit table sits amidships between comfortable seats that are more than long enough for a 6-footer to stretch out on.

Sheets for the code zero run to Harken Radial winches mounted just forward of each helm; other sail-control lines are led to clutches and electric Harken Radials on the cockpit coamings, near the cabin. Lockers in the coamings keep the tails out of sight.

To accommodate the Nauta-designed interior (which is only three steps lower than the cockpit), the cabin top is higher than on most boats, but I found that there was still good visibility from either helm and that being able to peer ahead and into the saloon through both the companionway and the aft-facing windows, as you might on a catamaran, has its advantages. An arch sits atop the aft end of the cabin and anchors the mainsheet; the forward edge of the coach top is wedge shaped and joins the deck well forward of the mast.

The layout below is open and light, thanks to the fact that even when you’re seated at the table, which is to starboard in the saloon, you can easily see out the ports, as you might in a deck-saloon design. An amidships island provides additional seating and a convenient place to hide a drop-down flat-screen television. A galley with all the expected gear and plenty of storage space is located to port at the foot of the companionway.

Forward of the saloon, a head with separate shower is to starboard and opposite a cabin with a double Pullman berth. The owner’s cabin is all the way forward and has two hanging lockers flanking a very luxurious queen-size berth.

The 43 I sailed had a conventional 54-horsepower Yanmar engine and saildrive; at that time, the Dock & Go system was only available with the larger 75-horsepower Yanmar employed on the Sense 50, but the system is now available as an option on the 43. Motoring, our speed hovered around 7.5 knots at 2,400 rpm; we gained another knot or so wide open at 3,000 rpm. Backing, I found the boat a little sluggish turning to starboard, but the Dock & Go will address that. My one quibble was that the panel to check engine fluids, stationed in the starboard cockpit locker, wasn’t easily accessible, a small complaint given the many good points that the 43 brings to the dock.

Sitting below while others did the sailing, I found the motion pleasant, the cabin airy, and the view spectacular. At a time when builders are eager to coax newcomers aboard, I couldn’t help but think that the Sense 43 makes a very good first impression.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Shoal draft: 4.42’/1.35m

BENETEAU: A LONG STORY THAT BEGAN IN 1884 

The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 136 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe.

Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies.

WIDE RANGE OF SAILING YACHTS AND POWERBOATS 

Sailboat Range

We built our first sailboats over 135 years ago and many things have changed since then. The oak we once relied on has been replaced with strong but lightweight resin and carbon fiber. Where canvas once caught the wind, now it’s Kevlar and Vectran. We’ve transformed dark, confining saloons and cabins into bright, open living spaces. And the list of innovations in hull design and navigation continues to grow at a rapidly increasing pace.

However, some things haven’t changed and never will. Benjamin BENETEAU’s philosophy of building the strongest, safest, most beautiful boats on the water is alive and well. The BENETEAU family’s pride in craftsmanship and passion for performance can easily be recognized in every FIRST, FIRST YACHT, FIGARO, OCEANIS, and OCEANIS YACHT built today.  

Knowing what to keep and what to change – that’s why BENETEAU continues to set the bar in sailing.

Powerboat Range

In North America, we might be considered by some to be a late-comer to the powerboat market, but in fact, we’ve always been a major force in it. As with most things, we have our founder, Benjamin BENETEAU, to thank. He was one of the first to put a petrol engine on his fishing trawlers in the early 1900s, thus changing the French commercial fishing fleet forever.

His successors found that power was a perfect fit for the bold, new hull materials they were pioneering in the ’60s. Since then, new technologies in propulsion have always found their way aboard a BENETEAU first, and power has long been part of our equation for success.

Today, there’s a BENETEAU powerboat or motor yacht for whatever you’re looking for – from casual cruising to long-distance adventuring, from fishing and diving to water skiing. They can be found on the open ocean, coastlines, harbors, lakes, and rivers. There’s a whole world to discover out there, and there’s no better way to discover it than at the helm of a BENETEAU powerboat, trawler or motor yacht.
