The F-24 Sport Cruiser is an American trailerable trimaran that was designed by Ian Farrier as a cruising version of the Farrier F-24. It was first built in 1991.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Based on the larger F-27 Sport Cruiser, the F-24 Sport Cruiser design was developed into the Corsair 24 Mark II, also called the F-24 Mark II in 1994.[1] [2] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
The design was built by Corsair Marine in the United States, from 1991 to 1994, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [10] [11]
The F-24 Sport Cruiser is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of vacuum bag molded fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fiber over a foam core. It has a fractional sloop rig with a rotating mast. The hull and outriggers have nearly plumb stems and reverse transoms. The hull has an open transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable daggerboard. It displaces 18000NaN0 and carries no ballast.[1] [2] [9]
The beam is 17.92feet with the outriggers deployed and 8.17feet them folded.[1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 4.67feet with the daggerboard extended and 12inches with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two adults and two children. The galley is equipped with a stove and a sink. A head is also provided.[9]
The design has a hull speed of 6.51kn.[2]
