Design
The F-24 Sport Cruiser is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of vacuum bag molded fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fiber over a foam core. It has a fractional sloop rig with a rotating mast. The hull and outriggers have nearly plumb stems and reverse transoms. The hull has an open transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable daggerboard. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg) and carries no ballast.[1][2][9]
The beam is 17.92 ft (5.46 m) with the outriggers deployed and 8.17 ft (2.49 m) them folded.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the daggerboard extended and 12 in (30 cm) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two adults and two children. The galley is equipped with a stove and a sink. A head is also provided.[9]
