The Santana 2023 is a family of American trailerable sailboats that was designed by Steve Schock, with models for racing and cruising, first built in 1993. [1] [2] [3]
The Santana 2023 is a development of W. Shad Turner's 1978 Santana 23 D design, using the same hull design, but different deck, mast and interior. [1] [2] [4]
The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States from 1993 until 2001, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [3] [5]
The Santana 2023 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass that was built in three different models: A, C and R. [1] [2] [3]
All models have fractional rigs; raked stems; two-angled, open reverse transoms; transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable centerboards. [1] [2] [3]
The boat has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.17 ft (0.36 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [2] [3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [3]
In a 1996 review in Practical Sailor while the boat was in production, Darrell Nicholson wrote, "we think the Santana 2023 is a reasonable introduction to cruising lakes and protected waters. Its simple operation should not confound beginners or those stepping up from daysailing. Though the design of the 2023 is not as radical or sophisticated as other sprit boats such as the Melges 24 or Ultimate 20, the hull is well designed. It is easy to rig and launch. While early models suffered gear failures, Schock appears to be working out the bugs. Still, we are dismayed that at least one customers warranty work has not been completed." [4]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: It is said to be extremely easy to launch and rig the boat for sailing. Worst features: Judging from owner comments, Schock used plywood on the interior of the water ballast tanks on early boats, then turned to fiberglass starting in 1996. However, they continued to use a brittle caulking material for the joints around the top of the tank, which has often led to leaks. Owners have devised various fixes; none sounds easy to accomplish."
