About the CONDOR 7
Also available with a cutter rig (see photo) although it is believed nearly all were masthead rigs.
The Condor 7 is a rare, lightweight 23.79 ft masthead sloop designed and built by Helmut Stöberl in 1966. With a displacement of 3527.0 lb and a build count of ?, this vessel represents a specific era of small, performance-oriented European cruising.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and day-sailers who prioritize ease of handling and trailerability over heavy offshore protection. Its light displacement and fin keel make it ideal for shallow-water exploration and quick acceleration.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 3527.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.94, the Condor 7 is not recommended for serious bluewater passages due to its light weight and limited reserve buoyancy.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1960s European trailer-sailers like the O'Day 23 or early Catalina 22s, which share similar dimensions and roles. These vessels are comparable due to their similar LOA of roughly 23-24 ft and focus on recreational coastal sailing.
