1982 J Boats J/24
About This Yacht
The J/24 is a 24-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built in 1982 by J Boats. Its design balances performance and handling, with a beam of nearly 9 feet providing stability across a range of conditions. A Mercury 3.5 hp gasoline engine provides auxiliary power.
The J/24 gained recognition as a responsive, agile platform suited to both competitive racing and recreational sailing. The fiberglass hull construction is built to last, and the boat's proportions and design have remained largely consistent with the class specifications established decades ago.
The yacht includes a Mercury outboard engine for auxiliary propulsion when needed. The compact size and straightforward systems make this boat manageable for a small crew while maintaining the performance characteristics the class is known for.
