1994 Ocean Alexander 423 Vessel Walk-Through The Classico 423 is a "trunk style" cruiser. Boarding is via the openings on either side of the vessel. Marquipt boarding stair conveys with the vessel, but is not shown in the photos. The swim platform is available for boarding if there is no tender mounted. The wide sidewalks make moving about the vessel and line handling easy. There are two access points to the top of the cabin trunk, one aft and one to starboard. The flybridge is accessible from the cabin trunk.
Sliding doors on both sides of the cabin allow access to the interior. The interior helm station is to starboard, with the galley down a few steps forward to port.

1994 Ocean Alexander 423 Accommodations SALON
When you enter the salon on Cardinal Way you feel like you are on a classic yacht, with teak joinery and a parquet sole.

There are storage drawers under the settee. A free-standing leather recliner is to port, as is the entertainment center which features a Vizio flat-screen TV, a Blaupunkt stereo and additional storage.

The screened windows open for ventilation and have white curtains with red tie backs, to complete the yacht décor. Doors on both sides of the salon allow easy access to the decks. The doors were removed and the rollers were replaced in 2021, so they slide easily.
The interior helm station is to starboard and features a navy blue vinyl captain's bench. A custom slide-out trash receptacle is under the bench. The teak ships wheel is an eye-catching feature.

1994 Ocean Alexander 423 Deck and Hull The Classico 423 has a modified semi-displacement hull which helps provide good fuel economy while ensuring performance and comfort. The balsa core technology on the hull sides above the water line, topsides and superstructure adds strength, reduces noise and vibration, and is watertight. The 1” thick, non-core fiberglass hull is hand-laid. Cardinal Way had a complete face-lift in the Spring of 2021 where she was out of the water for 3 months. Her hull below the waterline was peeled and dried. The entire boat above the water line was repainted, including the hull, cabin, and decks, and the brightwork was refinished with multiple coats of new varnish. The stanchions of the handrail were rebidded and all fiberglass cracks were repaired. The blue hull paint (Awlcraft 2000) was done in 2018.
The swim platform had the core removed and replaced in the Spring of 2021 and features a swim boarding ladder and transom hot/cold shower. There is a ladder with 3 natural teak steps leading from the swim platform to the aft deck. There is a spacious lazarette with a gas-hinged hatch in the aft deck, with convenient stairs. The dock water connection, as well as a wash-down is also on the aft deck. A ladder with 2 natural teak steps lead from the aft deck to the cabin trunk. One natural teak step leads from the sidewalk to the cabin trunk on the starboard side. The cabin trunk is surrounded by stainless steel hand rails, with a mounted Lifesling. A free-standing deck box is to port on the cabin trunk.
A stainless steel dinghy davit system is mounted on the aft transom. The electric winch was replaced in May, 2020. A boom for removing the tender motor is to port, along with a tender motor mount. The tender is a Zar Mini 11' RIB Hypalon tender with a Yamaha 15hp 2-stroke motor.
The foredeck on Cardinal Way features: a 55lb Vulcan anchor with 250' chain, a Super Max anchor with 150' of rode, a Maxwell 800C electric windlass, windlass foot controls, a teak burgee pole, and a deck wash down system.
1994 Ocean Alexander 423 Flybridge The roomy flybridge on Cardinal Way is perfect for cruising or entertaining. The hinged mast can be folded down to reduce the bridge clearance from 20' 4" to 16' 6", which makes Cardinal Way the perfect boat for the Great Loop. A custom hardtop, with full enclosure protects the entire flybridge. The front windows are EZ2CY, while the sides are Strataglass. The windscreen is smoked Plexiglas. There are fishing pole mounts on the underside of the hardtop. Solar panels, added in March, 2019 are on top of the hardtop.
