The Santana 23 K, a fixedkeel evolution of the original Shad Turner design, represents a bridge between the highperformance trailerable racers of the late 1970s and the more dedicated club racers of the 1980s. Manufactured by W.D. Schock Corporation, this model was introduced to provide a simpler, more stable alternative to the daggerboardequipped Santana 23 D. While the original hull was conceived as a versatile racercruiser for the IORinfluenced era, the "K" variant specifically targeted sailors who preferred the tracking and stiffness of a fixed fin keel over the shallowwater utility of a retractable board. Production of the 23 K was more limited than its siblings, with approximately 50 units built between 1984 and 1987 out of a total production run of roughly 194 hulls across all 23foot variants, according to data preserved by Good Old Boat.
