Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 323 - Description

2005 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 323, deep fin keel, sloop rig with Yanmar 3YM20 21hp inboard diesel engine. The yacht is well equipped for comfortable coastal cruising and extended passages, offering six berths in a warm cherry-wood interior, diesel cabin heating, a well-appointed galley with refrigerator and oven, comprehensive Raymarine navigation electronics including autopilot and radar-integrated chartplotter, and an excellent inventory of safety equipment. Following a survey in February 2026, with findings attended to (details available on request), Tuppence was described as in sound condition, with no major structural defects, to have a smart and tidy interior and exterior and to have been clearly well maintained. With extensive maintenance records, recent professional servicing throughout, 2018 standing rigging, and a specification that leaves little to add, Tuppence represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-cared-for Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 323 that is fully prepared for her next owners to step aboard and enjoy immediately.
