Beautiful Oceanis 423--Ready to Cruise!

The Beneteau Oceanis 423 is a masthead sloop that brings considerable comfort and a refreshing turn of speed to sailors with eyes set toward distant horizons! Certified to CE-A Category standards, she is built to go places. Vita Amoris, a stunning 2005 model, will certainly delight those looking for new adventure. She is a 3-cabin, 2-head layout that is perfect for the cruising couple or for those with crew. She has been lovingly cared for and maintained by her owners, has been outfitted to cruise with an extra refrigerator/freezer, 200W of solar, and a Jackery portable power station. Additionally, her rolling furling genoa and furling mainsail make sail handling easy, whether short or single-handed. In addition to her cruiser-friendly equipment, she also sports a gorgeous flag blue hull, red boot stripe, and many teak accents along her shear and cockpit areas; she is a stunner!

On Deck

All lines lead to the cockpit where electric winches make light work of heavy loads. A new furling genoa and newer furling main have color-matched UV covers stitched to the leech, and new Raymarine instrumentation at the helm provides crystal clear chart images, autopilot control, and a user-configurable multifunction display. Additionally, her powerful 55Hp Volvo diesel has 1310 hours of trouble-free service. Teak accents bring a classic style aboard without undue maintenance hardships, and an outboard lift is positioned on the aft starboard stern rail for quick installation aboard her included tender.

Down Below

A classically-styled exterior is bookended by a warm, inviting interior of varnished cherry with leatherette upholstery. The three-cabin model gives the owner flexibility to keep three staterooms, or convert one to a workshop or large gear locker. Currently, Vita Amoris has a third cabin configured to accommodate long-range cruising gear. This includes a Jackery portable power station and extra refrigerator/freezer cleverly mounted to a pull-out tray. This can be quickly and easily converted back to a berth when needed. To port is the day head with separate shower that connects to the main salon as well as the port aft cabin. Here, you can configure a day head while underway, or a private en suite for guests occupying the aft cabin. Forward along the port side is a long galley with a large propane cooktop and oven, microwave, and dual, deep stainless sinks. There is plenty of counterspace for meal preparation, and ample storage for snacks and provisions. To starboard is a proper navigation station with opening chart desk, storage for books and manuals, and ship circuit breakers. Forward, a large dinette with circular seating and plenty of natural light makes for a comfortable place to relax or enjoy a meal. Forward is the main cabin with a central, double island berth and en suite head with separate shower.
