I like the Bene 373. I don’t own one, but keep thinking retirement boat. Greg
I actually made a couple of offers on a Beneteau 373, and was not able to make a deal, before purchasing my 343.
Many reviews on this site, posted by owners, were favorable. One in particular cited lack of stability, to the extent that he thought the boat was dangerous. I don't know about that, only sailed one in light winds. Perhaps the owner didn't know how to sail the boat.

The XX3 series are known to be needed to sail more upright, and the reviews mention this. I agree.
