The Leisure 23 SL represents the refined evolution of one of the United Kingdom’s most successful small cruisers. Designed by Frank Pryor and introduced in the late 1970s by Cobramold Ltd., the "SL" (Special Luxury) variant was an update to the original Leisure 23 hull. While it retained the same underwater profile and heavy-duty construction of its predecessor, the SL introduced a more contemporary, wedge-shaped coachroof that significantly increased internal volume and standing headroom. This model was a cornerstone of the Essex-based builder’s lineup until the company transitioned to Brinecraft Ltd. in 1980. Its enduring popularity is rooted in its ability to offer the amenities of a 27-foot yacht within a compact, 23-foot frame that remains manageable for solo sailors and families alike.
