About the GRANADA 23
The Granada 23 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Elvstrøm & Kjærulff and built by Gesten Glasfiber Bådeværft (DEN) from 1976–1981. With a displacement of 3748.0 lb and a beam of 7.55 ft, this Danish-built vessel offers a balanced mix of performance and stability for its era.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners who prioritize manageable size and ease of handling over heavy offshore endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.95 and a comfort ratio of 18.95, the Granada 23 is designed for coastal and protected waters rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other late-1970s European 23-footers like the Beneteau First 23 or O'Day 23, which share similar fractional rig configurations and target the same recreational coastal market.
