Splendid Mane... the details.


Our sailboat is made by Beneteau, a French boat manufacturer, but was built in South Carolina USA. It is 40' long and 13' at it's widest point (called the beam). It has a draft of 5'1", which means we can go in water that is 6' deep without touching the bottom (but we wouldn't do that because we might hit a rock). It weighs about 17,000 pounds empty. We have the two cabin version of boat, but it is also available in a three cabin. If you want to see more, you can follow this link...... Beneteau 393 Sailboat
The picture above is of our sailboat sitting at our dock in Ladysmith Harbour next to the Marissa Ann, our friend's sailboat.
