Description
The Beneteau Oceanis 423 has been one of the most successful models of cruising sailboats in the 42-foot class since earning *Cruising World* Boat of the Year honors in 2004. Designed by Groupe Finot, the 423 brings robust sailing performance, luxury accommodations belowdecks, and sizeable tankage for longer-duration passages. Constructed of solid fiberglass below the waterline and balsa cored elsewhere, the 423 is built for serious offshore passagemaking and coastal cruising alike.
*Perfect Day 3* is a sought-after 2-cabin owner’s version of the 423. This layout creates a large L-shaped galley below and to starboard with a well-balanced combination of counterspace, storage, and refrigerator and freezer capacity. A proper navigation table provides access to systems monitors, communication and entertainment equipment, and a duplicate B&G plotter for easier passage planning.
The large salon is bright and airy with leatherette upholstery throughout. A private aft cabin with head and shower serves guests or cruising companions, while the forward owner’s stateroom features a centerline island berth, ample hanging and drawer storage, and an enclosed private head with separate shower.
Professionally maintained and only sailed in freshwater, *Perfect Day 3* carries an extensive list of upgrades that make her a turnkey cruiser ready to go anywhere right now.
