Broker's Comments

This 1986 Frank Pryor-designed Leisure 23 is a clean, straightforward example of a well-regarded coastal cruiser. The interior is dry and fresh, with tidy upholstery and a practical layout that makes good use of the available space. There is a double berth in the forward cabin, and the saloon table drops to form a second, larger double berth if required.

Simple to sail and easy to handle, she’s a suitable choice for entry-level sailors or those looking for a low-maintenance yacht. The boat features a deep cockpit for added security underway, along with useful locker storage. A bilge keel design allows for drying moorings, access to tidal harbours, and more affordable storage ashore. Power comes from an economic, 9hp Volvo Penta MD2010 inboard diesel engine, which appears to be clean and well cared for.

Currently berthed at Neyland Marina and easily accessible for viewings. A solid example of a popular model, well suited for day sailing and short coastal passages. All enquiries and viewing requests are welcome.
