Rare Tommy Bahama Model Beneteau 423

Pascal is the super-optioned, 2005 Beneteau 423 Tommy Bahama Limited Edition model; distinguished by her Bamboo-colored hull with Green accent striping, Roller Furling Mainsail and a long list of very desirable and sought-after features on the interior and exterior; not found on any of the other 423 models on the market today.

In addition to a Bow Thruster with wireless remote and a full suite of Raymarine Electronics, including the E-120 Color 12 inch GPS/Radar/Chartplotter with Sirius Satellite Weather module and SmartPilot Autopilot with wireless remote, you'll find a 6 kW MasterVolt diesel Generator in a sound-shield with less than 50 hours, a Volvo 55 HP Diesel engine, 2 CruiseAir reverse cycle A/C systems totaling 19,000 BTU, a Gennaker Cruising Spinnaker, Custom Carbon Spinnaker Pole, SS Dinghy Davits, SS Outboard Motor Lift, Varnished teak cockpit seats, swim platform, and cap rails, thick cockpit seat cushions, Sunbrella Dodger and Bimini with zippered vinyl windows, side curtains and Textilene sun-screens, and Lewmar Horizon 12V windlass with wireless remote.

This two-stateroom, two-head layout with varnished cherry cabinetry provides privacy for two couples and additional berths with the dinette table lowered and adjacent settee berth on the port side of the spacious salon. The dual-entry aft head with electric freshwater toilet, vanity and shower is conveniently located to port near the companionway and serves as a day-head, and assures privacy for guests in the aft cabin or guests in the salon berths. The U-shaped Galley is well-equipped; including a 3-burner stove with oven, dual SS sinks, a top-loading freezer and front-opening refrigerator, both with 12V Adler Barber cold plates, and generous storage cabinets and countertops.

A few of the Tommy Bahama features that cost over $25,000 when new, include caned cabinet doors, thick varnished teak and holley cabin sole, custom interior and cockpit seating fabrics, custom sets of bed linens, custom towels, accent pillows, placemats, napkins, brass Weems & Plath oil lamp, clock and barometer, custom salon and cockpit varnished cherry tables with palm tree inlay, SS ports and dorades and much more. The Bamboo-colored hull is the most visible Tommy Bahama option.

This well-designed sailing yacht has a top-performing bulb keel with a shallow draft of 4 ft.9 in.; perfect for cruising the Florida Keys and Bahamas, yet stiff enough for bluewater passages and race-winning speed. Evolved from the proven Beneteau 411 hull and keel configuration, Thursday's Child will easily sail upwind close-hauled in 15-18 knots of apparent wind at speeds of 7.5 to 8 knots with a nicely-balanced helm. Off the wind, set the like-new Nylon Gennaker and you can expect similar speeds (or higher) in moderate wind conditions. All halyards, sheets and roller-furling control lines are led aft to sheet-stoppers accessible from the cockpit under the Dodger, and Lewmar oversized 54CST Primary and 40CST Secondary Self-Tailing Two-Speed Winches and solid rod boom vang make it easy to single-hand and a pleasure for a one couple to sail.

If you are looking for a fully-loaded, well-maintained, elegantly-appointed sailing yacht that will take you safely and comfortably to any of your dream destinations, this 2005 Beneteau 423 Tommy Bahama sloop is priced to sell and can be purchased for less than most of the standard 423 models available. She is cruise-ready, has fresh exterior varnish and is ready for a tough marine survey. Call today to schedule a personal inspection. You won't be disappointed!
