The Sea Sprite 23, frequently referred to as the Alberg 23 due to its iconic designer Carl Alberg, represents one of the most enduring "pocket cruisers" in American yachting history. While its production spanned several builders beginning in 1958, C. E. Ryder in Bristol, Rhode Island, became its definitive manufacturer starting in 1974. Ryder refined the design by moving from an external bolton lead keel to a fully encapsulated lead unit and introducing a selfbailing cockpit. With nearly 800 hulls produced across all builders, the Sea Sprite 23 is a testament to the "Full Keel" philosophy: a design that prioritizes seaworthiness, beautiful lines, and predictable handling over raw speed or interior volume.
