English
The ever popular Beneteau Oceanis 343 is the perfect cruiser for both family or short handed sailing. An easy boat to sail and comfortable to live aboard, with her fully featured accommodation.
This two cabin example has been privately owned since she was built and boasts a comprehensive specification that includes Eberspacher heating, fully battened mainsail, furling gennaker, spinnaker, chartplotter with AIS, autopilot and much more.
"Tickety Boo" is currently dry sailed on a "Port à Terre" contract in Brittany; she is only launched whenever the owner wishes to sail his boat. The boat will be coming back to the UK in April 2022, if she remains unsold..

Owner's Comments
We bought "Tickety Boo" in 2016 and initially kept her in Poole, until 2019 when we sailed her to Brittany.
The boat is perfect for our needs as she is easy to sail and responsive. We have particularly enjoyed sailing
under the gennaker which can be launched and furled from the cockpit.
With the boat abroad, it was important for her to be a "home away from home" and this she has proven to
be. All the cabins have a lot of natural light from the skylights and hatches and she has a huge amount of
headroom.
The recent situation with Covid and Brexit have forced us to re-evaluate our boating and free time. We have
very reluctantly decided therefore, to sell "Tickety Boo"; but we are confident that her new owners will enjoy
a well-designed, versatile, comfortable and conscientiously maintained boat.
