Snowtop, I was just trying to do some research on the Irwin 23' too. There's one for sale not far from me (actually, not far from us). I live in Lanoka Harbor, and the boat if for sale in Long Branch. It's an old boat, but the price is right, except it has lost its Centerboard. As I am just getting into sailing, and perhaps not looking to take on the extra responsibilities of project like having a centerboard manufactured, maybe you want to look into that boat. It's on the Craigslist ad and a search for Jersey Shore, sailboat Irwin, will turn up the ad.
