Broker's Comments

A robust Coastal Cruising Yacht ideal for somebody just starting out, with a safe deep cockpit, good headroom and a spacious interior for 23 feet.
There is an active Owners Association: http://www.leisureowners.org.uk/main/content/index.php/leisure23
The Leisure 23 was evolved from the successful Leisure 22, and is very similar, bar the stern, which on the Leisure 23 is raked to add waterline length and give a more modern look to the boat.
In 1973 Frank Pryor designed Cobramold’s second biggest seller, the Leisure 23. With 5ft 8in headroom the saloon seemed huge for a 23 footer and featured a good port side galley with a dinette to starboard (which converted to a double berth). Both outboard and inboard engines were offered. Around 900 were built. Founder Brian Meerloo reckoned the Leisure 23 had the best sailing qualities of them all and loved sailing his L23, Last Minette.

This Boats age is unconfirmed as 1990
