Remarks:
The Leisure 23 is a very popular family sailing cruiser with good headroom, spacious accommodation for up to 5 and a very strong class association. With her shallow draft and bilge keels, she’s ideal for the rivers and creeks of the east coast.
This Leisure 23 has been with the same owner for 31 years and has been well loved and maintained, her interior is in excellent condition. Sailed on the Norfolk Broads and the East Coast and now for sale owing to her owner retiring from sailing.
