The Leisure 23, designed by Frank Pryor and introduced in 1973, represents a pivotal moment in the history of British production yachting. Launched by Cobramold Ltd. as a more substantial followup to the wildly successful Leisure 17, the 23 was engineered to bridge the gap between a trailersailer and a dedicated coastal cruiser. Built with a heavy GRP layup, the vessel was intended to provide a safe, dry, and surprisingly spacious platform for families navigating the oftenchoppy waters of the North Sea and the English Channel. During its primary production run, which lasted until 1980 before transitioning to the Leisure 23SL variant under both Cobramold and later Brinecraft Ltd., approximately 900 units were produced, making it one of the most ubiquitous sights in European marinas.
