I've just put down a refundable deposit on this 2005
Beneteau 473 so please let me know if you think this
is a good buy.

Looked at 473 closely this summer (before deciding to buy a catamaran after
all) - liked them, heard good things about them, most common boat on the
ARC, world's biggest manufacturer, lots built, good reviews, as easily
resold as any boat, discount on new price.... what is there not to like, and
the spec looks OK too.

The pics show the version without the extra cupboards at the forward port
end of the saloon, but hey, more room for guests with bubbly when you aren't
sailing.
