ETAP 23
The ETAP 23 is a Belgian trailerable sailboat that was designed by Jacques de Ridder as a cruiser and first built in 1982.
The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Lokeren, Belgium between 1982 and 1989, but it is now out of production.
The ETAP 23 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of foam-cored fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a weighted bulb lifting keel. It displaces 3,320 lb (1,506 kg) and carries 1,036 lb (470 kg) of ballast.
The boat's construction renders it unsinkable.
The boat has a draft of 5.08 ft (1.55 m) with the lifting keel extended and 2.60 ft (0.79 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring, mounted in a stern well.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin along with a drop-leaf table. The galley is located on the port side, just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an icebox and a sink. The head is located under the "V"-berth on the port side in the bow cabin. Cabin headroom is 53 in (130 cm).
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 240 and a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h).
