Santana 2023 C
Description
The Santana 2023C is the cruising-oriented variant in the Santana 2023 family of American trailerable sailboats, designed by Steve Schock for comfortable day sailing and overnight trips on lakes or protected coastal waters. It features a lightweight fiberglass monohull with water ballast for easy trailering, an extended coachroof for added headroom, ports for ventilation, and a small galley with enclosed head, accommodating up to four for short cruises. The design emphasizes simplicity, quick rigging, and shallow-draft capability for beaching, while maintaining the family's responsive handling via a fractional sloop rig and retractable centerboard. Introduced in 1993 by W.D. Schock Corp in the United States, the Santana 2023C evolved from the 1978 Santana 23D (hull lines by W. Shad Turner), with production running until 2001. Key updates included the 1,300 lb (590 kg) flooding water ballast system (drained for transport, reducing trailering weight to 1,580 lb) and an updated deck layout for cruising amenities. Approximately 200 units of the 2023 family were built, with the C model comprising a significant portion.
