The Seidelmann 24, sometimes called the Seidelmann 24-1, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Bob Seidelmann, Bruce Kirby and W. Ross, as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1981. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The design was built by Seidelmann Yachts in the United States and Paceship Yachts in Canada, starting in 1981. A total of 38 boats were completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [7] [8] [9] [10]
The Seidelmann 24 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel and retractable centerboard. It displaces 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) and carries 1,100 lb (499 kg) of ballast. [1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 4.40 ft (1.34 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.90 ft (0.58 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in and two settee berths around a removable table. The galley is located amidships on the port side and is equipped with a two-burner alcohol-fired stove, a portable icebox and a stainless steel sink. The cabin sole is made from teak and holly. [11]
The design has a hull speed of 6.07 kn (11.24 km/h). [2]
