The Access 2.3 is a compact, high-performance day sailor designed by Chris Mitchell and built in 2006. With a displacement of 159.0 lb and a beam of 4.1 ft, it offers a lightweight, agile sailing experience typical of the Access line.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for single-handers or couples seeking a portable, trailerable day sailor for coastal waters, given its low weight and manageable dimensions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 159.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.03, the Access 2.3 is not suitable for offshore or bluewater cruising and is strictly intended for protected coastal waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Laser and Sunfish, as they share the role of lightweight, single-handed day sailors, though the Access 2.3 offers a more stable catamaran hull form.
