From the Schock 23 Brochure
Accommodations Plus
Making a cruising interior function in 23 feet
is tricky business. In order to avoid the "dollhouse" effect often caused
by putting too much into too little, the W.D.Schock corporation has
engineered a very special multi-purpose interior for the Schock 23. It is
a spacious two-cabin interior arrangement with two extra-long bunks
running for and aft in the main cabin and a large vee-berth forward. To
this roomy layout we have added a clever galley unit that slides aft to a
storage space under the cockpit seat and forward to a spot convenient for
the cook. The unit is equipped with a sink, a water pump, and platform for
a one-burner stove. Cold storage is provided by a large ice chest that
doubles as a companionway step. And a hinged drop leaf table folds down
from the bulkhead to provide a comfortable dinette. A gentle push on the
galley unit and a simple folding of the table instantly converts this cozy
dining place into roomy main cabin.
The head compartment of the Schock 23 is
isolated forward of the main bulkhead and has its own vanity and wash
basin. The interior is beautifully appointed with natural teak bulkheads
and a teal and holly sole. Designer fabrics, both practical and
attractive, are used throughout.
Quality Construction
The keel on the Schock 23 is a patented
Hydrokeel ... a wing keel that draws just 35 inches and weights
approximately 1100 pounds. Its state-of-the-art design gives good lift to
weather and excellent stability on all points of sail.
Top of the list of special cruising amenities
is a large pop-top which can be easily adjusted to increase headroom below
to a full six feet. For good ventilation, the cabin has been equipped with
four opening ports, a large forward hatch, and a sliding main hatch. The
electrical system on the Schock 23 includes a 12-volt battery, running
lights, a bow light, and cabin lights. There are storage lockers beneath
each of the bunks and also in each cockpit seat. A covered anchor well has
been molded into the foredeck. And a special motor mount has been designed
into the cut-away transom for easy installation of the outboard engine and
convenient access while under power. Schock even offers a custom boarding
ladder as an option.
You will be amazed to the care taken in the
designing, engineering, and building of this remarkable 23-foot
trailerable performance cruiser. Your will also be delighted with the low
