Remarks:
The Leisure 23SL is a very popular family sailing cruiser with spacious accommodation and good headroom (improved upon from the original Leisure 23 due to the change in cabin shape), and a very strong class association. This example has been sailed extensively on the Norfolk Broads for the past 17+ years. She has been well maintained and has had numerous upgrades and improvements in recent years. For sale due to the purchase of a traditional Broads yacht.
