Nepenthe is very clean! Upon entering the main cabin the navigation station is immediately to starboard. Forward of the navigation station is a settee with comfortable seating for 4. The "L" shaped galley is to port. Forward of the galley is built-in bench seating w/storage. Continuing forward you will find the head with a clever "swing-out" sink and more storage. Beyond the head is the V-Berth with more storage.

Construction and Performance Details (From www.Pearson323.com)

"The only rule to which she was designed was the personal rule of Bill Shaw... that a boat should be safe, attractive, and a delight to sail. Although not explicitly stated in any Pearson literature, the 323 target was the middle of the price market for this size boat. The money was spent on the structure and functional equipment rather than on the cosmetic bits. This resulted in a solid, thick fiberglass hull, good sailing characteristics and spacious accommodations. Although no speed demon, the 323 can move at 5 knots in an 8 knot breeze and will cruise near her hull speed as the wind climbs into double digit speeds. The 323 doesn't like to be overpowered, so aggressive use of the reefing systems will keep the boat comfortably moving at top speed."

"The more time one spends on a 323, the more one recognizes its more subtle elements of this thoughtful design. While she only draws about four-and-a-half feet of water, her ability to point isn't significantly compromised when sailing upwind. Many boats of this size with a displacement of 6.5 tons could be very slow and unresponsive, but the 323 benefits from the stability of large displacement while remaining lively under sail. This is also one very roomy boat. Although she'll only sleep five (a starboard quarter berth was deleted from the original design in favor of the nav station), the roominess of the cabin and the two spacious cockpit lockers provide more usable space than most other 32-footers. Overall, it's a design that was well thought out in the mid-70s and holds up very well today. How many other things from the mid-70s can one say that about?"
