The Imperial 23 is a 22.5ft masthead sloop designed by L. Wakefield and built in fiberglass by Russell Marine Ltd. since 1966.
The Imperial 23 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
