Ajax 23

The Ajax 23 is a keelboat designed by Oliver Lee in 1967.

It is a 23 ft boat sailed by 3 people.

Roughly 60 boats are in existence with 1 in Sydney another in Ireland and the rest split between sailing on the River Orwell at Woolverstone near Ipswich at the Royal Harwich Yacht Club[1] and in St Mawes, Cornwall.

[2] The National Championships for the Ajax Class take place in the summer each year, and are alternately hosted by the Royal Harwich Yacht Club (racing taking place in Dovercourt Bay)[3] and St Mawes Sailing Club (racing taking place in the River Fal estuary).

[4] The National Championships at St Mawes generally precede Falmouth Week, which also includes class racing for Ajaxes.
