Production

Design

The Fun 23 was conceived by French sailor Alain Forgeot and became an active one-design class in Europe. The design shares a sailplan with the Soling design.[1]

The Fun 23 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a swing-up fin keel. It displaces 1,875 lb (850 kg) and carries 760 lb (345 kg) of iron ballast.[1][2]

The design has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the keel down and 2.33 ft (0.71 m) with the keel up.[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 180 with a high of 192 and low of 174. It has a hull speed of 5.67 kn (10.50 km/h).[2]

gollark: You can't just say "because morality" as if that isn't isomorphic to bees in some ways.
