34' Beneteau 343

Due to the incredible interior space and increase head room, many consider this 34' design superior to many a currently available Beneteau. The 6'5" to 6'6" headroom of this 343 is a joy to all who partake. You'll get the idea that you are in a boat more comparable to a 36 than a 34. Keel depth is only 4'7".

The rotating wheel that comes with this boat is no longer available from Beneteau, but it sure is enjoyable in making moving from the open transom to the companionway unobtrusive. Simply pull the locking device and easily rotate the wheel from the standard sailing position to 90 degrees rotation.
With this 343 Beneteau's in mast furling handling the mainsail a snap. Everything is led aft to the cockpit. The manageable size of this boat is enjoyable and essentially is easily handled by a crew of one or two.
As for equipment,refrigeration, Custom Bimini, Auto pilot, Windspeed/Wind Direction, and Electric Windlass. All of the standard options are included. Nothing to purchase to start enjoying the boat. She is a "Turn Key" boat.
