The ETAP 23i is a Belgian trailerable sailboat that was designed by Jacques de Ridder as a cruiser and first built in 1982.[1][2][3]
The ETAP 23i is a development of the ETAP 23. The design was developed into the ETAP 23iL in 1996.[1][3]
Production
[edit]The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium between 1982 and 1994, with 700 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
[edit]The ETAP 23i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting keel. It displaces 3,306 lb (1,500 kg) and carries 1,036 lb (470 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 4.80 ft (1.46 m) with the lifting keel extended and 2.30 ft (0.70 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a spinnaker.[1][3]
Operational history
[edit]The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.[5]
