I don't know of any quirks, the 323 is a solid design. Like any old boat, you will have plenty of things wearing out, but there is a lot of info online and on this site, to help guide you.
Enjoy your new old boat!

P323 / Re: Nesting Dinghy
« Last post by 323Voyager on April 21, 2026, 01:09:42 PM »That's why i was thinking of a nesting one. Then I could nest it up front, or have one half forward of the mast and one half behind the mast.

P323 / Re: Cockpit drains
« Last post by 323Voyager on April 21, 2026, 01:08:33 PM »I keep it in the water. The Marina has Bubblers. So I keep the Cockpit Drains open, Dave said he ran hoses through or something which kept the water from freezing up higher blocking the sink. Winter is over now, but if anyone knows that Hack, feel free to post it!

Been told she's gets rolly-polly close to dead-down wind... great to have this performance feedback from owners!

Standing & Running Rigging and Fitting/Tuning / Back-Stay Adjuster

Hey, It's my first boat...I know racing J29's, Olsen 30's I could could put some serious bend in the stick with a rig like this. It was probably part of a "spit-bckstay with cascading blocks...
