Production

The design was built by Tylercraft in the United States, starting in 1961 and ending about 1980. [1] [2] [3]

Design

The Tylercraft 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a nearly-plumb transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or twin bilge keels. There were several different models marketed over time, including a daysailer, weekend cruiser and a racer. Displacements varied from model to model, but typical is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) with 1,450 lb (658 kg) of iron ballast. [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with the standard twin keels and 3.75 ft (1.14 m) with the optional fin keel. There was also a centerboard version, with a draft of 3.75 ft (1.14 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [2]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 8 hp (3 to 6 kW) outboard motor mounted in astern well, for docking and maneuvering. Starting in 1965, some boats were equipped with an inboard Wankel engine. [1] [2]

The interior design varied from year to year. A typical layout has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side amidships and is equipped with a sink. The head is located opposite the galley on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 72 in (183 cm). [1] [2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.0 kn (11.1 km/h). [2]

Operational history

The boat was at one time supported by a class club, Tylercraft sailboats. [4]
