Boat Details Description In the wake of the fabulous Oceanis 411, the Oceanis 423 features the latest innovation of Beneteau in the field of cruising pleasure: exceptional lighting thanks to the panoramic hatch and a 2.10 meter headroom in the saloon, owner's island berth, en suite heads with separate shower in the fore cabin and a deck plan designed for utmost pleasure under sail or at anchor. The Beneteau 423 is widely considered one of the most successful mid-sized cruising sailboats ever built. Designed by Groupe Finot, it is celebrated for balancing a spacious, high-volume interior with surprisingly nimble sailing performance. The boat is known for a light, responsive helm and impressive acceleration. It handles well in light winds but is stiff enough to stand up in a breeze due to its bulb keel. Built to CE Offshore A standards, the solid fiberglass hull utilizes Beneteau's "grid system" for stiffness. While the flat forefoot may cause slight pounding in heavy chop, it contributes to stability and speed. Most model features all lines led aft to the cockpit with in-mast furled mainsail, making it an excellent choice for solo or couple cruising. The interior is noted for its "stunning" cherry-stained woodwork (Douka) and abundant natural light from numerous skylights. Ho'onalu has the (Two-Cabin Layout) preferred by private owners.
