Olympic Star 23
Description
The Olympic Star (also known as the Olympic Star 23) is a compact fiberglass cruising sailboat designed by C. A. Martzoucos and built by Olympic Yachtcraft Corp. in Canada, with production starting in 1968. It features a fin keel for decent upwind performance, a practical layout suitable for day sailing or short overnights (typically berths for 4, simple galley, and head), and solid construction typical of that era's production boats. Production numbers are not well-documented but appear limited, as it's a niche, lesser-known model with sparse online presence and occasional mentions from owners of 1968–1970s examples seeking restoration info or photos.
