The ETAP 23 is a Belgian trailerable sailboat that was designed by Jacques de Ridder as a cruiser and first built in 1982.[1][2][3]
Design
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.[1][3]
The boat's construction renders it unsinkable.[3]
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.[1][3]
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.[1][3]
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).[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 240 and a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h).[3]
