The Halcyon 23 is
a strongly built little sailing cruiser. This example was re-engined
in 2004 with a new Beta diesel which has run just 40 hours to date,
and a useful inventory including dinghy and outboard.The hull was grit blasted and epoxied in 2004.
It would be possible to have the use of the mooring for up to two
years for this yacht

The Halcyon 23 was based on a 1960 design
by Alan Buchanan called the Crystal, which in 1967 was modified
by Alan Buchanan for Offshore Yachts Ltd. to become the Halcyon
23. The design had a choice of fin or twin keels, this being
the fin keeled version, with a bulbed iron fin keel.
The hulls were moulded by Seamaster Boats of Essex, to Lloyds
standards, each hull having a Lloyds moulding certificate.
The hull has a firm turn to the bilge, and together with the
substantial ballast keel, this gives good stability for a
small yacht.
