Design
Tonic 23

The Tonic 23 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of monolithic polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. The deck includes a balsawood core. It has a fractional sloop rig with a deck-stepped aluminium mast with a single set of swept-back spreaders, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by tiller and a fixed fin keel or optionally a stub keel and centerboard. The fixed keel version displaces 2,866 lb (1,300 kg) and carries 992 lb (450 kg) of cast iron ballast, while the stub keel and centerboard version displaces 2,932 lb (1,330 kg) and carries 1,058 lb (480 kg) of cast iron exterior ballast with the centerboard made from steel.[1][2][4][5]

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 3.67 ft (1.12 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.33 ft (0.71 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2][4][5]

For downwind sailing the boat can be equipped with a spinnaker of 364 sq ft (33.8 m2).[1][2]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering or optionally an inboard motor could be installed. The design has a hull speed of 6.04 kn (11.19 km/h) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 5.3 U.S. gallons (20 L; 4.4 imp gal)[1][2][3]

gollark: … Metatables!
gollark: Anyway, it'd be nice to say that some function returns an X and some function takes an X and know that it'll definitely only accept X-es and not just some generic table.
gollark: You can interpret them *either* as hashmaps *or* objects *or* arrays.
gollark: What's the type for `table of ints`?
gollark: You want to be able to know that the output type = the input type.
