The Beneteau 423, a mid-2000s 42-foot sloop, offers a balance of cruising capability, tankage, and interior volume for an average market price of $134,000.0:15 Key specifications include a 19,500-pound displacement, 53 gallons of fuel capacity, 154 gallons of water capacity, and a 5.5-foot draft.1:01 The design features a single helm, a protected galley suitable for use while heeled, and a V-berth owner’s cabin.2:18 Compared to the Catalina 42 Mark II and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS, the Beneteau 423 provides significantly larger tankage and a lower price point, though it lacks the twin-helm configuration found on newer models.9:39 Owners report the boat is easy to single-hand and performs well under sail, though some note the need to re-bed the skylight windows over time.11:17 While the Jeanneau 42DS offers a superior aft master cabin and the Catalina 42 Mark II remains a popular alternative, the Beneteau 423 remains a competitive choice for long-range cruising due to its storage capacity and interior layout.
