Elizabethan 23

The smallest Elizabethan, she was designed by Webster and David Thomas in
1969. She is a particularly pretty yacht, looking like a scaled-down offshore
cruiser-racer of her day, with long overhangs but a lifting keel. She is very
stable but can also be quite quick in a decent breeze. A MklI came out in the
mid-1970s, with headroom raised by 150mm (6in) to 1.5m (5ft) and various
other improvements to the four-berth interior. Inboard diesel and petrol
outboard-powered models were built and some were home-completed.
