Remarks

The Leisure 23 SL is a very popular family sailing cruiser with good headroom, spacious accommodation for up to 5 and a very strong class association. With her shallow draft and bilge keels, she's ideal for the rivers and creeks of the east coast.

This Leisure 23 SL appears to be very well presented throughout. She has been in the current ownership since January 2021 years, but has been little used and is now offered for sale due to lack of available sailing time. Offers may be considered.

MOORING: It's understood that the vessel's southern Broads mooring is transferable (currently being paid for monthly at a cost of £1,597 per annum/£69 per foot).
