Santana 2023C

Designed by the respected team of Steven Schock and Shad Turner, this 23-foot fractional sloop represents a thoughtful balance between performance and practicality. Built by W. D. Schock Corp from 1993 to 2002, the Santana 2023C carries forward the builder's reputation for producing quality fiberglass sailboats that deliver reliable performance without breaking the bank. The boat's centerboard trunk configuration makes it particularly appealing for sailors who need shallow-water capability while maintaining good upwind performance when the board is deployed. With a displacement of 2,880 pounds and 1,300 pounds of ballast, the design achieves a respectable balance that should provide stability without sacrificing responsiveness. The fractional rig with 222 square feet of sail area offers manageable sail handling for small crews while still providing enough power for spirited sailing. This design appears well-suited for coastal cruising, day sailing, and club racing applications. The comfortable cockpit proportions and straightforward rigging make it an excellent choice for sailors transitioning from smaller boats or those seeking a capable weekender that won't overwhelm them in typical sailing conditions. The Santana 2023C represents solid value in the used boat market, offering proven design principles in a practical package.
