Starwind 223

Starwind 223

Description

Drawn by Cortland Steck for Wellcraft Marine (the powerboat manufacturer) and now built by Rebel Industries, this is a deceptively significant design. With its 8' 6" beam, the 223 was one of the first trailerable cruisers to take full advantage of recently revised highway regulations. Its relatively large cockpit, crisp lines, forgiving performance, and simple interior layout encompass the latest thinking of those designing small sailboats.
