The owner states “This is a fine boat and is very easily handled”. Though currently in an end of season state, this boat has clearly been used, enjoyed and loved by her current owner, who has purchased a larger vessel. The Halcyon 23 is a popular vessel, which has been in use for many years and still generates much interest.
