Designed by Charles E. Morgan and built by Rebel Industries from 1984 to 1987, this compact cruiser represents thoughtful engineering in the 24-foot class. The Spindrift 24's moderate proportions and substantial displacement of 3,000 pounds create a stable platform well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. With nearly half her weight in ballast (1,450 pounds) and a deep 5.58-foot draft, this fiberglass sloop offers impressive stability for her size. The masthead rig configuration with 248 square feet of sail area provides adequate power while remaining manageable for small crews. Her 20.25-foot waterline length contributes to a respectable hull speed of 6.03 knots, making passages reasonably efficient. The boat's comfort ratio of 13.59 suggests a motion that favors stability over quick response, ideal for those prioritizing comfort during longer sails. Her capsize screening formula of 2.22 indicates good stability characteristics appropriate for protected waters and moderate offshore conditions. This design appeals to sailors seeking a pocket cruiser that doesn't compromise on seaworthiness. The Spindrift 24's combination of adequate accommodations, solid construction, and predictable sailing characteristics makes her particularly attractive to couples or small families wanting to explore coastal waters with confidence.
