The Starwind 223 is an American sailboat, that was designed by Cortland Steck and first built in 1984.[1][2][3][4]
The design was built by the Starwind division of Wellcraft Marine Corp in the United States from 1982 to 1984 and then by Rebel Industries near Sarasota, Florida from 1985 to 1987.[1][3][4][5]
Design
The Starwind 223 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard keel. It displaces 2,435 lb (1,104 kg) and carries 700 lb (318 kg) of ballast.[1][3][4]
The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.83 ft (0.56 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3][4]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3][4]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side just aft of the bow cabin and is equipped with a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 56 in (142 cm).[3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 264 with a high of 261 and low of 270. It has a hull speed of 5.89 kn (10.91 km/h).[3][6]
