Remarks:
The Leisure 23SL is a very popular family sailing cruiser with good headroom and spacious accommodation, and a very strong class association. This example has cruised both the Broads and east coast with her current owner since 2009 (her last coastal voyage being to Ipswich and Woodbridge in July 2016), and to Holland and Belgium with her previous owner.
