The designers have managed to blend volume, comfort, high performance and elegance. The slender hull, well-balanced sail plan and the standard deep keel, enhance upwind performance, give directional stability and helm balance when heeled. The new split-level deck layout of the Oc��anis 373 combines greater headroom with fluid aesthetics. The cockpit is very spacious and ergonomic. The cunningly designed removable helmsman`s seat simplifies access to the bathing platform, whilst the removable door step makes the companionway very practical. Unrivalled circulation is possible thanks to the brand-new,patented, steering wheel, which can be swiveled out of the way to clear the cockpit, still leaving all the instruments on the helm pedestal.

General Construction
-
Horsepower (total)
Hull
The hull is single-skinned GRP construction.
Reinforced points (keel, rudder, chain plates, hull-deck joint) help to strengthen the structure.
A structural inner moulding is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (shroud chainplate tie rods, keel, rudder, etc.), and spreads any loads guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull. The surface material of the inner moulding makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish.
The standard hull colour is white with blue and gold decoration. Steel Blue is available as an option.
