Background
Performance and design
The Access 2.3 differs from the majority of dinghies in that is controlled by a joystick, rather than a tiller, and the single crew is seated facing forwards. The crew does not switch sides during a tack and the boom is rigged high so as to avoid the helm's head during a tack.[2]
The boat is generally regarded as being a good beginner's boat for someone new to sailing, due to its stability and the ease with which it can be sailed.[2][3]
Because the boat can be equipped with servo assist electric controls it is possible for those with physical disabilities to sail it by themselves.[3]
Access 2.3 wide
There is also a wide version of the Access 2.3 which can accommodate for two average sized adults, although it is still capable of being sailed by a single crew.[4]
