2005 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 423

The 2005 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 423 is a 41-foot fiberglass cruiser with a proven design for comfortable passagemaking and easy handling. Powered by a 56-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, the boat carries 154 gallons of fresh water and 53 gallons of fuel, with a cruising speed of 7 knots and maximum speed of 8 knots. The in-mast mainsail and roller-furling genoa are engineered for short-handed operation, and the newer roller-furling mainsail was replaced in 2022.

The interior layout centers on an airy main salon with a U-shaped dinette and large dining table that converts to a cocktail table or double berth. Forward lies the owner's cabin with a center island berth and ensuite head featuring a separate shower. The aft stateroom provides a full-size double berth, and a second full head with shower sits midships. The galley runs along the starboard side with front-loading refrigeration, top-loading freezer, double stainless sinks, propane stove and oven, and abundant storage. A navigation station to port supports the boat's comprehensive electronics suite.

Navigation and entertainment systems include dual Raymarine chartplotters with radar, ST6001 autopilot, windspeed and tridata instruments, two VHF radios, and a stereo. The electrical system comprises 12-volt and 110-volt circuits with dual house batteries, generator, shore power, and reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning. Additional equipment includes a bow thruster, electric windlass, dodger with bimini, hot and cold cockpit shower, and custom cockpit cushions.

The boat shows expected wear consistent with her age and seventeen years of ownership. The engine has accumulated only 50 additional hours over the past four years under the current owner. The varnished teak cockpit table requires some finishing work, and the dodger plastic has minor cracks. Mechanical systems and structural condition reflect regular maintenance and professional winter storage.
