Starting aft, the large cockpit offers plenty of seating and easy access to the wide side decks. All lines are led aft, making her easy to sail short-handed, while the newer dodger canvas and clear panels provide excellent visibility. Forward, you’ll find a newer windlass, extensive ground tackle, and a large anchor locker set up for extended cruising.

Stepping below, the warm teak interior and abundant handholds immediately stand out. The spacious salon is complemented by a large galley with a deep freezer and separate refrigerator, while the popular two-cabin owner’s layout offers impressive storage throughout and a massive cockpit locker aft.

Power comes from a Volvo D2-55 diesel paired with a bow thruster for easy maneuvering. Thoughtful upgrades over the years include newer Garmin electronics and radar, newer sails and running rigging, diesel heat, 300 watts of solar, and a watermaker. Extensive maintenance records and a large inventory of spare parts reflect years of attentive ownership and make this 423 ready for her next adventure.
