About the F 24

With limited documentation available, the F 24 represents one of those intriguing sailboats that has left a lighter footprint in the historical record despite likely serving sailors well during its production years. Based on its 24-foot length designation, this boat would have been positioned in the versatile small-to-mid-size cruiser category that became increasingly popular as fiberglass construction made sailing more accessible to weekend sailors and coastal cruisers. Boats of this size typically excel at daysailing and short-term coastal cruising, offering enough space for a small crew while remaining manageable for single-handed sailing. The F 24 would have been well-suited for sailors seeking an entry point into cruising or those wanting a responsive boat for weekend adventures close to shore. Without extensive specification data, the F 24's exact design philosophy and construction details remain somewhat mysterious. This scarcity of information suggests it may have had a limited production run or was manufactured by a smaller builder. For prospective buyers encountering an F 24 today, thorough inspection and research into the specific vessel's history would be particularly important given the limited available reference material about the model's characteristics and common maintenance considerations.

Performance Ratios
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
61.29
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
2.49
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
5.9
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.51 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 9.05 pounds/inch
