San Juan 23-2
Description
The San Juan 23-2 is a popular fiberglass sailboat model designed by renowned naval architect Bruce Kirby. It was produced by the Clark Boat Company (USA) starting in 1977 as an updated version of the original San Juan 23 (introduced in 1975). This masthead sloop is known for its lightweight construction, trailerability, and performance in both racing and cruising scenarios. It's particularly favored for its swing keel (or centerboard) variant, which allows for shallow draft and easy trailering. Over 200 units were built, making it a classic in the small sailboat community.
