About the Husky 24 Ms

Designed by C.W. Burnard and first launched in 1962, this classic 24-footer represents the golden age of British yacht design when seaworthiness and traditional craftsmanship were paramount. Built by Yacht Haven Ltd. in the UK, the Husky 24 Ms features distinctive twin keels that allow for comfortable beach drying and access to shallow waters while maintaining good directional stability under sail. The wood and fiberglass construction reflects the transitional period of boat building, combining traditional materials with emerging technologies. Her masthead sloop rig and generous sail area of 2,582 square feet provide spirited performance for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. The twin keel configuration makes her particularly appealing to sailors who frequent tidal waters or prefer the security of being able to take the ground. With a displacement of 6,504 pounds and a beam of 8.60 feet, she offers a good balance of stability and accommodation for her size. The moderate comfort ratio of 27.46 suggests she's well-suited for coastal cruising rather than extended offshore passages, while her capsize screening value indicates reasonable stability characteristics. Her hull speed of 5.92 knots reflects typical performance expectations for a cruising yacht of this vintage and displacement.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 118.93
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

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
 27.46
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
 1.85
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. 5.92 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. 598.90 pounds/inch
