NEW LISTING -- Yumi III is a wonderful example of one of Beneteau's all time most popular models over 40 feet (over 300 423s have been built). And for good reason. A 2003 Sail Magazine review noted, "the 423's considerable beam is carried well aft and allows for a wide cockpit; seats are teak trimmed, the coamings are tall enough and angled outboard for comfort, and the walk-through transom makes it easy to board the boat from a dinghy. The deck layout is efficient. Under sail the boat settled into a comfortable groove, was light and responsive to steer, and cut a smooth wake in the light winds of our test. With its smooth helm, surprisingly nimble hull, and attractive features, the 423 successfully offers more for less." Yumi III is well equipped (with BOW THRUSTER and AIR CONDITIONING) and has cruised extensively. She has also done the Marion-Bermuda Race, and the Around Long Island Race (winning her division).
Yumi III features a 2-cabin/ 2-head layout, a 5' 7" fin/bulb keel, an in-mast furling main & roller furling genoa, asymmetrical cruising spinnaker, plus a storm jib. Read on for more details.
