The Paceship 23, designed by the prolific firm Cuthbertson & Cassian (C&C) and introduced in 1969, represents a pivotal era in Canadian fiberglass boatbuilding. Not to be confused with the later John Deknatel/Hunt-designed PY 23 (which featured a more voluminous hull and a reverse transom), the original Paceship 23 is a classic keelboat with a 19-foot waterline and a distinct racing pedigree. Built by Paceship Yachts in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, approximately 240 units were produced before the model was superseded by the more cruising-oriented PY series. The design is characterized by its traditional aesthetics, featuring a full-length wooden rub rail and a sleek, low-profile cabin top that echoes the performance-oriented silhouettes of contemporary C&C racers like the Redwing 30.
