The Schock 23 is a recreational keelboat, with a wing keel designed by Finnish engineer Reijo Salminen. It was built by W. D. Schock Corp in Corona, California, United States, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4][5] W. D. Schock Corp records indicate that they built 52 boats between 1987 and 1991.[6]

The Schock 23 is built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) and carries 1,100 lb (499 kg) of ballast. It has a draft of 2.92 ft (0.89 m) with the standard wing keel.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, one straight settee in the main cabin and one quarter berth aft under the companionway. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin. Cabin headroom is 54 in (137 cm).[2]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 201 with a high of 210 and low of 177. It has a hull speed of 6.09 kn (11.28 km/h).[7]
