Dibley 23' Sportsboat
23' Production SportsboatDibley Marine’s senior designer, Kevin Dibley, has designed this 23' Sportsboat for optimum performance, thrills and speed but maintaining excellent control at all times. Home build or production build options can be discussed.
Fast, fun and easily sailed, our client was an American who had a fairly detailed wish list which included the overall length of 23’, a maximum beam of 8’-2” and a sail area of 368 sq ft.
With a target of maximising the sail area to displacement ratio, Dibley paid special attention to the deck layout and crew positions to ensure that both the fixed ballast and crew weight is concentrated around the boat’s centre of buoyancy to minimise pitching.
Total ‘sailing displacement’ is 750kg. This includes an allowance for four crew and 200kg in the bulb keel.
The final sail area to displacement ratio is 42.
