Decks are teak planked and bedded over a sandwich cored fiberglass substructure. The deck is secured to the hull with an overlap showbox joint and mechanical fastenings through the teak toerail.
6283 lbs ballast.
Aluminum fuel tank. FRP water tanks. Separate fore and aft holding tanks.
Tankage and other dimensional information has not been measured by this broker and is reported based upon literature.

This is the Owner's Version of this Beneteau model, with a forward master suite, a second head off of the salon, and a private guest stateroom aft.
Joinery is satin-finished pear wood and presents a bright attractive interior.
The salon is extremely voluminous, with a high overhead and seating for perhaps a dozen. There are plenty of large opening portlights, an overhead hatch and additional sidelights to bring in lots of illumination and air. Cleverly-stored retractable shades can cover the portlights.
The galley is aft starboard and has good solid-surface countertop space, lots of storage, and separate refrigerator and freezer compartments. A newer high-quailty (and spotless) Force-10 stainless steel propane range is gimbal-mounted.
The master stateroom is an attractive and well-lit space, with a settee opposite the berth, and many storage lockers. The master head is in the forepeak and is cleanly designed, watertight, and well-lit and ventilated.
The forward head is manual flush and the aft head is a vacuflush system.
11 gallon hot water tank.
Cabin heat and air conditioning from two Cruiseair reverse-cycle systems (12,000 BTU and 16,000 BTU respectively).
Flat panel TVs with integral DVD players in the salon and forward stateroom are 12 vdc powered for reduced energy consumption at anchor. Fusion ip700 iPod-compatible stereo with Sirius satellite capability.
3 burner propane Stove

Broker's Comments
This Beneteau 42s7 is extremely sharp and "squared away". It is exceptionally clean, appears to be in excellent physical and mechanical condition, and has enjoyed numerous upgrades. I was particularly impressed with the sleek exterior lines and features and the ease of getting around on deck -- this would be an enjoyable boat to sail. This boat was built as a "boat show boat" by Beneteau in France and embodied their best concepts. It was an absolute showpiece when new and remains so.
The Bruce Farr deep-keel design is clearly intended for performance, but the accommodations make it a very nice cruising design for two couples or a family. She has never been raced -- but certainly could.
The interior is warm, well-lit, roomy and comfortable, and the galley is suitable for extended cruising.
Canadian import duties were previously paid on this boat.
These boat details are subject to contract.
