2005 Beneteau 323

This 2005 Beneteau 323 is a 32-foot fiberglass sloop designed for comfortable cruising. The hull has been stripped to gelcoat and protected with six coats of Interprotect, including the keel, completed in 2019. Power comes from a Yanmar 2GM 20-horsepower diesel engine paired with a Flexofold two-blade folding propeller.

The interior accommodates four to six with a double athwartships berth in the aft cabin and a spacious V-berth forward. The salon features updated upholstery from 2019, port and starboard settees, a navigation station, and natural light from two skylights and opening ports. The galley includes a propane stove with oven and 12-volt refrigeration. A single head with shower, vanity, and sink serves the accommodations.

The boat carries a full sail plan: a fully battened mainsail, furling Genoa with newer sock, and a Gennaker for light air. Winches are Lewmar two-speed self-tailing primary units and coachroof units with line stoppers. Electronics include a Raymarine eS7 hybrid touchscreen with North American Navionics and a Raymarine autopilot. Navigation is supported by Raymarine ST60 TriData and wind instruments, plus an ICOM VHF radio and pedestal compass.

Recent upgrades include two 110-watt SunPower solar panels with controller, new interior upholstery and cockpit cushions, LED navigation and anchor lights, a Fusion Bluetooth stereo system, and new control lines throughout. The rudder bearing was replaced in 2019. Deck features include a dodger, bimini, and connector panel, walkthrough transom with folding helm seat, integral swim platform, and an anchor roller with locker. A custom Island Canvas winter cover and steel folding cradle are included.
