Sandy 23
Description
The Sandy is a 23-foot husky centerboard cutter sailboat design by Mark Smaalders (Mark Smaalders Yacht Designs), intended for extended coastal cruising in challenging areas like the U.S. East Coast, Pacific Northwest, Australia, or Europe. It's a wooden boat (plywood construction possible, though often built in carvel or strip-planked wood), emphasizing versatility: shallow draft for access to skinny waters/canals/shallows, good windward ability when the board is down, and solid stability for offshore-ish passages in a compact package.
