Design
The Starwind 223 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard keel. It displaces 2,435 lb (1,104 kg) and carries 700 lb (318 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.83 ft (0.56 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 264 with a high of 261 and low of 270. It has a hull speed of 5.89 kn (10.91 km/h).[4]
