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 Antares 17 is a development of the Sovereign 17, with a new deck design.[1][2]
Production
[edit]The design was built by Sovereign Yachts in the United States, starting in 1987, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]
Design
[edit]The Antares 17 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. 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. It displaces 1,150 lb (522 kg) and carries 480 lb (218 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The fixed keel model of the boat has a draft of 1.83 ft (0.56 m).[1][2]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor in a stern well, for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with two berths in the open cockpit. 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. An ice chest may be stowed in the forepeak.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 5.1 kn (9.4 km/h).[2]
