I have sailed aboard with her owners many times and appreciated the 423's speed, comfort, and excellent handling characteristics. She's solid under foot with a good turn of speed and you'll be confident in any sea condition.

She is built to CE Offshore "A" Category standards. Her hull is hand-laid solid GPR with an anti-osmosis vinylester barrier under the gel. Beneteau's patented GRP Grid construction is chemically bonded to the hull with a proprietary polyester adhesive compound. Non-woven stichmat fiberglass and unidirectional roving optimize load distribution especially in critical areas like chain-plates and keel attachments. The deck is balsa cored with solid FG in load bearing or hardware mounting.

In the forward master cabin, there's a co0mfortable centerline berth with innerspring mattress and sitting area and two wonderful bureau drawers under the berth. A private master head features a stall shower. In the salon, entertaining at the dock or cruising with style her wide beam and large dinette and settee also feature abundant storage. A great forward-facing nav station is large and also features storage areas. The L-shaped galley features a 3-burner Force 10 propane range & oven, a microwave and large front-opening refrigeration and a separate reach-in freezer for ample provisioning for cruising or dockside partying.

Down the companionway steps, you'll discover an imaginative interior design that will delight the most demanding cruiser. The hallmark Beneteau joinery work beautifully frames a layout that boasts loads of storage and light.
