... to buy. It's a 2002 2 cabin model. Owners seems to be the
meticulous type. Anyone had experience with this model? Any info would be appreciated.

Haven't sailed the 393, but it looks like there are some good resources on the web. I know they are extremely popular with the charter companies, which is a good sign. Here are some links, I don't know if you have already checked them out.

This link has a bunch of sources on the 393

Perry gives good critical design reviews, and I believe he is well respected. He writes for Sailing Magazine.

Another review, but I don't recognize the source - looks like its from Australia.

Link to purchasing the practical sailor review.

I hope this stuff is helpful, of course getting critical feedback directly from owners is key. You may want to use the search tool to find out if there are any resources in the archives of Beneteau Owners on the 393. I am sure you will find some useful resources. There seem to be a lot more 423 owners out there, I haven't seen as many comments from 393 owners.

Good luck, hopefully some of the links will prove helpful.

I don't know if you belong to Sail Net, but that is another resource, and gives you access to thousands of sailors. Just an idea.

Curious to see if you bought the 393. My husband and I own one and love her. We have had her for 4 years. What can we tell you?
