Here is what John Kretschmer of Sailing Magazine had to say about the Beneteau 423:
"Powerful, high-quality cruiser packed with innovative features and cruising comforts"
"To claim that Beneteau has mastered what it takes to produce successful new boats is a bit of an understatement. The French builder seems to have a direct line into the psyche of sailors the world over. Take the new 423 for example. Groupe Finot is responsible for designing this handsome, versatile 42-foot cruiser that appeals to a broad spectrum of sailors, from hardcore voyagers to casual weekenders looking for a little stress relief with its good performance and great accommodations.
This cruiser is extremely well-engineered, sensibly constructed and outfitted, and does not demand undue maintenance. No wonder Beneteau is the largest sailboat manufacturer in the world.
From the moment I first spied the new 423 I knew it would be a pleasure to sail. As we approached this powerful sloop I took a moment to observe as it cut through the water. The sheerline, although thoroughly modern, is a little softer than Beneteau's racy First Series boats, and there is a subtle curve to the hull that speaks to the cruiser. The bow is not plumb, there is a short but appealing rake and the reverse transom allows for easy-access swim steps. The cabin-trunk blends beautifully into the hull, especially the low-slung forward section that is partially hidden by the raised bulwark when viewed from sea level....."
