The American 23 is a 23.0ft masthead sloop designed by Arthur S Henry and built in fiberglass by American Mariner Industries since 1978.
The American 23 is a light sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
