Hi, I want to purchase a little old, but decent yacht. I was recommended to look at the Hood 23. Can any one give me a second opinion about her seaworthiness. Thanks There are quite a few of these here in OZ. There were two versions here a trailable one with swing keel and a fixed keel version. They were a very solid boat, I sailed in a fixed keel one a number of times and due to the flat deck arrangement had quite a bit of space inside for their length although headroom was limited. This observation may be due to the fact I am 6'4" tall. There was also a 20 foot version which you couldn't swing a cat in. They weren't really fast but pointed well and coped with the peaky waves in Moreton Bay well. They would be getting a bit old by now so expect some osmosis to cut out in your spare time. I wouldn't recommend them for cross oceanic adventures though. Thank you for that information. I am also in OZ ( Sydney) and I have 10k to spend. Iam looking for a decent and reliable boat. There is so much on the market in this bracket, that I am not sure what to go after. Iam looking for a yacht with a fixed keel and some accommodation. The odd run from Pittwater to Sydney Harbour would be nice as well. You can't go past a Top Hat 25 here in OZ. Neither of them is any good up here in Brissy but great down in Sydney where the water is more than 5 feet deep. You can get Top Hats down to 10k if you look hard enough and haggle. I sailed one extensively up and down the QLD coast and it was very seaworthy. The Hood 23's are still good but there is far more room inside the TH though. Further to that, have a look at www.boatpoint.com.au search for monohulls between $5000 and $10,000, it shows a heap of boats. The larger ones like the Pacific 747 etc are all good boats. The Sonatas are also great value. Just get em checked out. Most of the Top Hats start at $17k which I think is over the top!! Other threads that may be of interest- 31 Jul 2024

Share this pageReview of Hood 23Basic specs.. The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all. The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment. The Hood 23 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.15 - 1.25 meter (3.77 - 4.07 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below. Sailing characteristicsThis section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats. What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)? The capsize screening value for Hood 23 is 2.04, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races. What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed? The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed. The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hood 23 is about 98 kg/cm, alternatively 549 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 98 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 549 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch. Sailing statisticsThis section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points. What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)? What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)? What is a Ballast Ratio? What is Displacement Length Ratio? SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 21.99 MaintenanceWhen buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 16m 2 (172 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need. If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.

Hood 23 is a 23 ′ 7 ″ / 7.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Warwick Hood and built by Stoddart Bros Marine (AU) starting in 1966. Rig and SailsAuxilary power, accomodations, calculations. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more. CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64) The first HOOD 23’s came from Hood Boating Company Ltd. The majority were built at Stoddart Brothers Marine in Queensland. The design was updated in 1972 and there are at least 4 versions: raised deck (as shown here) standard coach roof, pop-tops, those with shallow draft or keel/cb.

Buy with ConfidenceForums > Sailing > > GeneralHood 23 specifications. I have a Hood 23 shoal draft plus trailer that I'd like to trail from northern NSW to the Whitsundays. My present vehicle is a Nissan Xtrail, but I'm presuming this is not adequate to tow the Hood plus trailer. I've been trying to find what the boat weighs. According to specifications i found on line, the shoal draft Hood weighs 2850 lbs while the deep keel version weighs about 3700 lb. Both versions have 50% ballast ratio. But the weight difference is puzzling since they are supposed to be same boat, just with a different keel configuration. Can anyone tell me whether the quoted displacement figures are accurate? Also any advice on a suitable towing vehicle for someone with limited funds would be appreciated. BananabenderQld, 1580 posts. The specifications would be correct. There are a few differences between the two such as 400 lbs. less in ballast with a swing keel and smaller sail area. The xtrail should be OK if one rated at 2000kgs. I would ask the guys on trailer sailerplace forum . eg extract from forum 'I use an Xtrail to tow my 23 foot NIS. The weight of boat and trailer is claimed to be 1500kg. I need to confirm this with a weighbridge. I haven't towed it far at all, only a few times and short distances, but it does seem to cope OK. I wouldn't want to pull anything much bigger, and would really like the boat to be smaller (or the car bigger!) But it does it ok without labouring too much as long as you keep the speed down and use a lower gear than normal. Seems to have the power and braking to handle this weight OK. The xtrail pulled it up the ramp with no issues so far.' WA, 40 postsTake it to a weigh bride. My local tip in WA dose not charge a fee if you go at the weekend. NSW, 1525 postsYou have probably seen the links below. There are errors in the Crawford data as regards kg to lbs conversion so maybe leave that alone. There is a geocities link which has a virus so I won't post it - it is found by googling "Hood 23' shoal draft swing keel sloop specifications". It has total displacement 1315kg (2900lb), ballast 636kg so ratio 48.4% The fixed keel at sailboat data has 1678kg (3700lb) and 839kg so 50% as you say. sailboatdata.com/sailboat/hood-23 Hood 23 - Specification sheet.pdf (johncrawfordmarine.com.au) Depends what year model the x trail is; needs a braked trailer. Some websites suggest take 80% of the suggested towing maximum to give a comfortable margin. www.carsguide.com.au/nissan/x-trail/towing-capacity The diesel Outlander has a good review here; www.racv.com.au/royalauto/transport/best-cars-to-tow-caravan.html NSW, 1581 postsPut the trailer boat combo on a weigh bridge, the laden weight of the trailer cannot exceed the weight of the tow vehicle. Bt50s are a popular choice with caravaners NSW, 7556 postsSelkie owns a shoal draft Hood 23. There are shoal draft Hood 23s that do not have the swing keel and I should imagine they weigh the same as the normal keel version. There was a shoal draft Hood 23 hull only for sale in Bomaderry for $50 awhile back I was trying to get people to save! WA, 1830 postsSelect to expand quote woko said.. Put the trailer boat combo on a weigh bridge, the laden weight of the trailer cannot exceed the GVM weight of the tow vehicle. Bt50s are a popular choice with caravaners My addition in bold. Unfortunately, with the possible exception of the larger F Trucks, Rams and maybe the 300 series Cruiser, there are not many cars on the road that will legally tow their advertised towing capacity. In the case of an X-Trail, even the latest model advertising a 2,000 kg towing capacity will really only just tow the unlaiden boat trailer. And that will depend on what mods have been put on the car or how many people are in it (a vehicles Tare weight only considers 1 occupant -the driver). QLD, 387 postsThe issue of allowable vehicle tow weights is something of a trigger for me. It is a stinking shame that the ordinary customer in Australia cannot get a straightforward answer to the question "which car should I buy to tow a xxx kg caravan/boat/trailer"? It is near impossible to get the numbers on-line, then you have to do your own complex calculations to work it out, and hope you have not made a mistake. I have seen some calculations showing that the only way to get to the advertised tow weight is to have no-one in the car, not even the driver. The manufacturers are incentivised to obscure the information, as far as possible, so you cannot make like-for-like comparisons. In the end, you have to make your best guess, hoping that you have not under-estimated, which is a unacceptable for the amount of money you will be spending. This is such a difficult, obscure, arcane issue that several spreadsheet calculations have been attempted on TrailerSailerPlace. Whether or not those calculations are right, it tells you that it is insanely difficult to find the right information. What is needed is a national standard for calculating tow weights, so that consumers can make informed choices. Unless cars have a different ruling in nsw, I was driving a unladen boogie tipper towing a tag trailer with an excavator on it the combo weight of the trailer exceeded the truck by 2tonne, I had to put a couple of tonne on the truck to be legal. This was at the direction of the scaleies. So load the vehicle up ( don't exceed the gvm) and keep the boat light. Weigh bridges usually only charge a couple of bucks unless you want a docket. Has anyone actually heard of a caravaner or a boat trailerer being booked for trailer exceeding tow vehicle weight ? Yep. Woko I bet you weren't exceeding the Max Combination Weight though. You can't exceed the GVM nor the ATM and combined they can't exceed the GCM Select to expand quote Toph said.. Yep. Woko I bet you weren't exceeding the Max Combination Weight though. You can't exceed the GVM nor the ATM and combined they can't exceed the GCM That's correct, in nsw a three axle boogie drive gvm is 22500 kg, the truck was unladen, from memory it tared 10 t, so I had plenty of squiggle room. The fine was $800 + and I had to disconnect the trailer and bust it to get to the quarry and get a couple of tonne on a Friday arvo, I could have jumped the digger off and dug a random hole on the side of the road and tossed that on the truck. Guess who got the Friday FWit award that week ! Gross combined mass = vehicle gvm x 2 ie truck 22500 + trailer 22500 = 45t. quad dogs and the like require suspension and brake upgrades. Back to the op if your tow vehicle is not loaded beyond its gvm then the trailer can be of equal or less weight than the tow vehicle, as long as it is within its own design parameters Hi does anyone know where I can buy a lower mast fitting for a hood 23, hope some one can help, thanks Phil Whats a lower mast fitting?

The Hood 23 was designed in 1966 by naval architect Warwick J Hood, AO. While a tyHe considers the Hood 23 to be one of his most influential designs. "I think it introduced people to the idea that you could get a small, reasonably high-performance sailing boat in a small size that was properly built, properly designed," he told the ANMM.
The first HOOD 23's came from Hood Boating Company Ltd. The majority were built at Stoddart Brothers Marine in Queensland. The design was updated in 1972 and there are at least 4 versions: raised deck (as shown here) standard coach roof, pop-tops, those with shallow draft or keel/cb.

The Hood 23 is equipped with a finn keel. The finn keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.15 - 1.25 meter (3.77 - 4.07 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
It's about $45 for 5 litres [enough for 20 yachts]. Mix 1 to 5 with warm water and scrub the whole boat down from the guardrails. It will make all the SS shiny, remove the rust marks and make all the gelcoat like new. Tough spots like deck tread use a stiff nylon brush.

10 Jul 2013 8:54AM. The usual way is to drill a series of holes down from the top. Inset a nail bent at 90 degrees into an electric drill into the hole so the nail can be rotated at speed and turn the foam into mush. Suck it out and replace with epoxy filler mixture. Not sure of an easy way if the ply is still intact.

Sailed it to Sydney. in a 20 kt N/E wind. Had two experienced crew on hand and had the time of our lives under spinnicker.
