Description
TOMMY BAHAMA, LIMITED EDITION – Bamboo colored hull, Tommy Bahama upholstery, Corian counter tops, Salon table with TB Palm Tree inlay.
The Beneteau 423 is one of the best cruising boats ever designed. The hull shape gives stellar performance in light and heavy air. It is really fun to sail and sailing is made easy with the inmast furling mainsail and furling genoa with primary winches that are easy to reach from the helm. The fin keel with modified bulb and long rudder, make the Beneteau 423 easy to maneuver in tight spaces - in forward gear or reverse!
The large cockpit with walk-through transom and wide transom step allows a crew of 4 or more to live comfortably as well giving easy access to the dinghy and to the water. The uncluttered side decks and bow make moving about, either at anchor or under way, a simple task.
The traditional cherry wood joinery below is rich and warm and is enhanced by an abundance of light provided by fixed overhead windows as well has numerous hatches and portlights which provide excellent ventilation. The layout is extremely 'liveable', with the galley tucked to starboard, guest cabin and day-head to port, comfortable salon and large main cabin with en-suite head in the bow.
Autumn has several good features and cruiser friendly options and has had extensive upgrades over the last 5 years:
- Garmin Autopilot (8/25)
- Garmin GPSmap 816 (8/25)
- Solar Panels (2025)
- Victron Solar Controller (2025)
- Protournament Battery Charger (2025)
- Heat Exchanger on Volvo engine (2025)
- New Mainsail & mainsail furler (2024)
- Hull blasted, barrier coated & bottom painted (2020)
- New Groco through hulls (2020)
- LED lighting throughout
- Forespar removable davits (2024)
- New Dodger (2024)
- Bimini & connector (2019 - excellent condition)
- S/S Bruce Anchor w/ 100’ new chain in 2024
This is a serendipitous time of year to look at Autumn.
