The Beneteau 373 was awarded Boat of the Year by Cruising World Magazine for Best Value in the category of cruising boats under $200,000. The Beneteau 373 triumphed over the Catalina 387, Etap 37s, and Hunter 41. The Beneteau 373 offers a bright cabin with panoramic, forward facing windows. The extra headroom adds to the open, accommodating feel to the boat. Her comfortable cockpit has a patented innovative pivoting steering wheel making it easy to walk from the helm to the companionway.
“For our purposes, I like seeing stall showers…the Beneteau 373 delivers a whole lot of bang for the buck,” commented Bill Lee, Boat of the Year Judge.
“The standout feature on both the 373 and its new little sister, the 323, is a patented wheel that rotates 90 degrees; it is Beneteau’s answer to the industry-wide desire to open the passage straight through the cockpit from the transom, and it’s simpler than twin helm stations. Designed by naval architects Berret/Racoupeau, the 373 replaces the 361, of which hundreds have been built since its introduction in 1999,” said Murphy. The Beneteau 373 features the similar force disbursement components. Beneteau uses in other boats in its line, which all are tied to a fiberglass grid bonded to the hull that distributes all the sailing loads. “That grid system is superb”, said Ralph Naranjo, Technical Editor. The Beneteau 373 will join the ranks of previous BOTY winners, an award series that has crowned the standout designs.
