Broker's Comments

The Halcyon 23 is a sturdy and compact little coastal cruiser that would make an ideal first boat. Strongly built with a bilge keel, they make an ideal vessel for creeking, shallow moorings and exploring estuaries.

We are told they are easy to sail & handle and with berths for 4, cooking facilities and a sea toilet, this vessel is good for weekending. Most of the electrics have been replaced recently and the engine has had a top end rebuild earlier this year.

A strong & compact sailer, this vessel is ideal if you’d like to get sailing on a tight budget.
