Off Center Harbor's Remarks
Built by a gifted amateur to a Doug Hylan design, the Point Comfort 23 seems to be a perfect alongshore vessel for the dedicated picnicker and cocktail cruiser. We have been aboard the Point Comfort on several occasions and were impressed by the well-thought out details in her construction. Economical to maintain and simple to trailer, the pictures in the listing tell her story as well as anything more we might say about her. Furthermore, for an essentially new boat, her reduced price makes her quite a bargain.
Description from Boat's Main Listing
Now $39,900. Quiet, efficient and comfortable day cruising with family and friends is the vision and goal of the Point Comfort 23. Since launching in early June (2016) sea trials and regular use in varied locations and conditions have more than shown this Doug Hylan design to be spot-on for her intended purposes.
