'Ocean Road' is just a great boat! She has all the features that we love in the Sense range from Beneteau including; minimal steps, good sailing, huge cockpit, easy access to water and tender. But 'Ocean Road' combines this with a set of carbon sails, and the benefit of just two previous owners, both of whom were very attentive to maintenance. With her rigging current, replaced covers, and everything serviced, this boat is an ideal purchase for an experienced Ocean Sailor, or a weekend family cruiser, either one this Sense 43 would suit perfectly.
