Designed by P. Harle and built by French manufacturer Jeanneau starting in 1985, this 24-foot sailboat represents a thoughtful approach to small boat cruising with versatility as its hallmark. The fractional sloop rig configuration provides excellent sail handling characteristics, while the keel/centerboard hull design offers the best of both worlds—stability from the fixed keel and shoal water capability when the centerboard is raised. With a displacement of 2,926 pounds and ballast of 1,086 pounds, the Tonic 23 Cb strikes a reasonable balance between performance and stability for coastal cruising. The boat's SA/Displacement ratio of 19.45 indicates lively sailing performance in moderate conditions, while the comfort ratio of 12.7 suggests she'll provide a relatively comfortable motion at sea for a boat this size. The centerboard configuration makes this vessel particularly appealing for sailors who want to explore shallow anchorages, creek gunnkholes, or areas with varying water depths. Her 248 square feet of sail area provides adequate power for the hull, and the theoretical hull speed of 6.04 knots is respectable for coastal day sailing and short cruising adventures. This Jeanneau would suit sailors seeking an affordable, manageable boat for weekend coastal exploration.
