2007 Oceanis 523 ClipperThis is an excellent, privately owned example which has undergone a rigorous program of maintenance and upgrades in the last couple of years. This includes a new engine in 2022, new bow thruster, sails and running rigging – just to scratch the surface. She is presented for sale in excellent condition and comes with a great level of equipment.
The boat offers an excellent level of accommodation with a large, sociable saloon, large forward en-suite master cabin and two aft double berth cabins – which are also en-suite. Additionally there is also the provision of a crew cabin accessed by a deck hatch in the bow.
With all the work that has been done and the truly excellent condition of the boats interior, this must be one of the best examples on the market. She presents her next owner with the perfect opportunity to acquire a boat which has had all the maintenance work already taken care of and is ready to go sailing!

ConstructionThe hull is single-skinned GRP construction
A structural inner moulding is bonded and laminated to the hull at various points.
Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (chain plate tie rods, keel, rudder etc.) and spreads any loads, guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull
The surface to the inner hull makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish
The structure of the hull with the inner moulding provides housing for the diesel and water tanks in the central part, enabling an optimised weight ratio and giving excellent control of the longitudinal stability of the boat
The deck is balsa sandwich construction for an optimal strength/weight ratio and good thermal and sound insulation
The stainless steel propeller shaft is fitted to and protected by a skeg in the GRP hull
