INTRODUCTION 
ODYSSEY is a great example of a well maintained and updated Beneteau 473.
The 473 is regarded as one of the largest boats in its class and features a spacious 2 cabin layout with sail storage and generator space aft of the galley.
An ideal cruising boat, she is easily handled by a couple thanks to in-mast furling main sail, electric primary winches and electric mainsheet winches. A quick design, the PHRF rating of 66 makes for fast passages and enjoyable handling. The cockpit is large enough for hosting the raft-up party and features a dropleaf table down the centerline. The twin wheel setup allows for easy access forward from the helm, and aft to the stern boarding platform.
The salon is spacious and bright with plenty of opening hatches and ports.
Recent noteworthy upgrades are:
- Salon interior upholstery
- Westerbeke 10kw generator
- New complete Garmin electronics package (2023)
- Espar diesel heater
- Bimini connector
If you are in the market for a fast-cruising yacht that is easy to manage, ODYSSEY is worthy of inspection.
