North american 23
8 / 25 - score 57%
The North american 23 is a 23.0ft masthead sloop designed by Robert Finch and built in fiberglass by Glastron (USA) between 1976 and 1978.
The North american 23 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
