Sakonnet 23: Video Section. Boat built by Edey and Duff.

A properly designed daysailer

Naval architect Joel White sought to design a very simple boat that offers "good speed, comfortable seating for four and good looks." A properly designed daysailer" said White, "gives the maximum in boating pleasure for the dollars spent."

Like the Stone Horse, Dovekie and Shearwater before it, Sakonnet 23 is pure pedigree. Refreshingly handsome from all angles and super-swift as well, this distinctive double-ender is ideal for the experienced sailor who wants a roomy, inshore daysailer for weekend and evening sailing with family and friends. What’s more, her true hull speed and modern high-aspect rig make Sakonnet 23 a most competitive one-design class racer.
