A compact and capable daysailer and coastal cruiser, the Westwind 24 by Paceship offers an approachable entry point for sailors seeking a well-built fiberglass sailboat from a reputable Canadian manufacturer. Paceship, produced by Grampian Marine in Ontario, earned a solid reputation throughout the 1960s and 1970s for building affordable, quality production sailboats that appealed to a broad range of recreational sailors across North America. Suited primarily to sheltered coastal waters, lakes, and protected bays, this boat rewards weekend sailors and those new to keelboat sailing looking for a manageable, trailerable or marina-kept vessel. Its size makes it easy to handle short-handed, while still offering enough space for comfortable day sails or simple overnight adventures. As with many boats in this class and era, the Westwind 24 benefits from a community of long-time owners who have kept these hulls sailing decades after production ended. Prospective buyers should focus on hull condition and rigging age when evaluating examples, as well-maintained boats from this period can still deliver rewarding sailing experiences at an accessible price point.
