Abaris 23: a first efficient open hull for the young Polish shipyard Arrow Boats

Abaris 23

The new Polish shipyard Arrow Boats has just launched its first model, the Abaris 23. It is a small open hull of 7.30 m in length designed for coastal cruising and equipped with a simple but effective deck plan.

Construction made in Poland

Arrow Boats is a new Polish shipyard whose first model is an open hull with cabin, the Abaris 23. 7.20 m long and 2.20 m wide, the Abaris is built in infusion directly in the shipyard, whose founders were previously specialized in boat transport. Approved in category C, it can embark up to 10 people.

A very large hull

The Abaris 23 stands out by its rather massive look due to a very voluminous hull up to the bow with an emerged forefoot and a bow almost in the shape of a marotte. The freeboard is very high at the front with an important sheer.

A simple, but well thought-out cockpit

At the stern, two small bathing skirts with handrails and a ladder on the port side flank the outboard engine, which has a maximum power of 250 hp. Access to the cockpit is via a step and an opening on the port side. The rear is occupied by a triple bench seat. The central cockpit is equipped with two armchairs with flip-up seats and a rather large dashboard to starboard. A fairly high windshield with handrails protects the pilot.

on the starboard side, a glass door gives access to a small cabin that can be transformed into a double bed, but which will be used for storage purposes. The space is quite small, but it can be used if the need to spend a night on board is felt. In the cockpit, the bulwarks are covered with padded cushions.

Access to the foredeck is via a step and offers a console bench seat topped by a storage locker and a U-shaped bow bench seat that can be transformed into a sunbathing area. A platform is positioned on the front balcony to allow disembarkation from the front, common in Nordic countries.
