The Antares 17 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed as a daysailer and pocket cruiser and first built in 1987.
[1][2] The design was built by Sovereign Yachts in the United States, starting in 1987, but it is now out of production.
It has a fractional sloop rig; a cuddy cabin; a spooned, raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or stub keel and centerboard.
[1][2] The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor in a stern well, for docking and maneuvering.
The galley is located in the cuddy cabin, with a stove to port and a sink to starboard, with the portable-type head in between.
