The Sea Sprite 23 is a quintessential example of the "full keel, narrow beam" philosophy that dominated midcentury American yachting design. Penned by the legendary naval architect Carl Alberg in 1957, the vessel served as a foundational model for Sailstar Boat Co. before the company’s acquisition by Clint Pearson and its subsequent evolution into Bristol Yachts. Measuring 22 feet, 6 inches on deck, the Sea Sprite 23 is often described as a "big little boat," offering the heavyweather stability and aesthetic grace of a much larger offshore cruiser in a package that remains manageable for a solo sailor. The design was produced by several builders over its long lifespan, including Sailstar, Bristol, and eventually the Sea Sprite Co. at Wickford Shipyard, resulting in a lineage that spans nearly four decades of fiberglass boatbuilding history.
