Sovereign 23

The Sovereign 23 and Sovereign 24 are a family of American trailerable sailboats that was designed by Arthur Edmunds as cruisers and first built in 1981.

The boat was also sold as the Sovereign 23 Adventure and a simplified, budget version with a different deck was sold as the Sovereign Antares 24.

The Sovereign 23 and 24 are developments of Edmunds' S2 7.0, using the same hull mold, as are the Sovereign 7.0 and the Sovereign Princess 24.

The designs were built by Sovereign Yachts in the United States, from 1981 until 1996, but it is now out of production.

The Sovereign 23 and 24 are recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They have masthead sloop rigs, raked stems, plumb transoms, transom-hung rudders controlled by tillers and a fixed fin keel or shoal draft keel. They displace 3,250 lb (1,474 kg) and carry 1,350 lb (612 kg) of ballast. The Sovereign 24 differs in having a 12 in (30 cm) bowsprit added.

The boats have a draft of 3.67 ft (1.12 m) with the standard keel and 2.33 ft (0.71 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boats are normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design two different factory interior layouts. Interior A has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two a straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder, with a two-burner stove to starboard and a sink to port. The head is located on the port side beside the galley and has a privacy door.
