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]
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]
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 33060NaN0 and carries 10360NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 4.8feet with the lifting keel extended and 2.3feet with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a spinnaker.[1] [3]
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.[5]
