Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 523

Bénéteau Oceanis Clipper 523 – 2004

Solidity, space and aptitude for long crossings.

The Bénéteau Oceanis Clipper 523 represents one of the best combinations of solid construction, onboard comfort, and seaworthiness. Designed by the Finot-Conq studio , it is a cutter-rigged sailing yacht designed for long ocean voyages: it has already crossed the Atlantic and the Caribbean, demonstrating reliability and safety on the open sea.

With an overall length of 16.20 meters , a displacement of 16 tons, and a beam of 4.88 meters, she offers generous volumes both inside and out. The large deckhouse windows bring natural light into every room, while the wide, opening stern provides direct access to the sea.

This unit, registered in 2004 and flying the Polish flag, is in need of reconditioning , but represents a unique opportunity for anyone wishing to easily restore it to its former glory with a modest investment: the ideal base for a demanding owner looking for a solid, safe and spacious boat.
