Design
Starwind 223

The Starwind 223 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop, 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]

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]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

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).[4]

gollark: Well, the god should clearly have kept doing that, since it worked better.
gollark: Why would a god choose to communicate in such a ridiculous way and not write "HI, GOD HERE" in giant letters of fire in the sky?
gollark: Again, random noise? There are a lot of places you can read out information and a lot of different things you can compare against.
gollark: Oh yes, light speed is annoying too. Also how even the planets are mostly really boring.
gollark: The remaining volume is mostly stars, in which you will very very rapidly die.
