The Fun 23 is a French trailerablesailboat, that was designed by Joubert-Nivelt for one design racing and first built in 1982. The design is out of production.[1][2][3][4]
The boat was built by Jeanneau in France, Ranger Yachts in the United States and Cantiere Nautico Lillia in Italy. Jeanneau built a small number of the design, while Ranger completed about 100 examples.[1][5][6][7]
Designedit
The Fun 23 was conceived by French sailor Alain Forgeot and became an active one-design class in Europe. The design shares a sailplan with the Soling design.[1]
The Fun 23 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractionalsloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a swing-up fin keel. It displaces 1,875 lb (850 kg) and carries 760 lb (345 kg) of iron ballast.[1][2]
The design has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the keel down and 2.33 ft (0.71 m) with the keel up.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 2 to 4 hp (1 to 3 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][4]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. Cabin headroom is 46 in (117 cm).[4]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 180 with a high of 192 and low of 174. It has a hull speed of 5.67 kn (10.50 km/h).[2]
Operational historyedit
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Ranger Yachts built about 100 Fun 23's ... The French team of Joubert & Nivelt designed her ... Jeanneau in France also built a few, and an Itallian firm, Lillia, also has been a builder. Although the Fun is said to have the same sailplan as a Soling (a 27-foot one-design racing sailboat), actually the mainsails have same dimensions but the foretriangle on the Fun is much smaller than the Soling’s. There are two rigs, a short rig and a 'regular' rig ... the regular rig has a taller but still less-than-masthead jib ... she is strictly a bare-bones overnighter when it comes to accommodations."[4]
