The Halcyon 23 is a 22.75ft masthead sloop designed by Alan Buchanan and built in fiberglass by Offshore Yachts Ltd. (UK) since 1967.
1000 units have been built.
The Halcyon 23 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
