Designed by the prolific Australian naval architect Peter Cole, the Cole 23 stands as one of the most successful and enduring examples of the versatile "trailer sailer" era. Launched primarily in the late 1970s and 1980s, the model was produced by several prominent builders, most notably Northshore Yachts and Binks Yacht Constructions. The design was conceived to provide a legitimate cruising experience for families while maintaining the portability required for inland lakes and coastal hopping. Its reputation is built upon a hull that manages to be both forgiving for novices and rewarding for seasoned sailors who appreciate the Peter Cole pedigree of balanced, seaworthy lines.
