2004 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 423

The 2004 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 423 is a 41.5-foot cruising sailboat with a fiberglass hull and a single 54 hp Yanmar diesel engine. The design prioritizes natural light and open accommodations, featuring a large panoramic hatch and 2.10 meters of headroom in the saloon. This example is configured as a two-cabin layout with two heads, including an en suite bathroom with separate shower in the forward cabin and an owner's island berth. The galley flows openly into the saloon, creating a functional workspace even while underway.

Recent maintenance includes replacement of the dodger and bimini in May 2022—the dodger's center section unzips and rolls up for ventilation, and removable summer shades are included for sun protection. All through-hull fittings and valves were renewed in 2021. The boat carries a comprehensive electronics suite with Raymarine instruments (autopilot, multifunction display, radar, wind, depth, and speed instruments) alongside an Icom VHF radio and autopilot.

Power and water systems are well-equipped: a Magnum 2800-watt inverter/charger, Mastervolt 5kw generator, Xantrex battery charger, and battery monitor support 120-volt needs. A Katadyn watermaker produces 6.6 gallons per hour. The galley features a three-burner propane stove with oven, microwave, and refrigerator with drop-in freezer. Air conditioning and heating are installed, along with a Seaward water heater and Magma propane barbecue.

The sailplan includes an in-mast furling mainsail, roller-furling genoa, and gennaker. Ground tackle comprises a 25kg Rocna anchor with 200 feet of 5/16-inch chain, plus additional Bruce and Danforth anchors. A Lewmar electric windlass with remote control, three bilge pumps (two electric, one manual), and extensive cockpit covers and cushions round out the package. A 9-foot West Marine inflatable dinghy with Mercury 6.0 hp four-stroke outboard is included.
