The Westwind 24, also called the Paceship P 24, is a keelboat designed as a heavy displacement coastal cruiser.
First built in 1966 by Paceship Yachts in Mahone Bay, Canada, it is now out of production. [1]
The boat was designed by Ted Hood. The hull, skeg, deck, and rudder are hand-laid fibreglass reinforced polyster resin. [2] The hull has a fixed, rounded long keel forming a deep V-shape. [3] It is here that the 2,370 lb (1,075 kg) of cast iron ballast is placed. [2] A swing centreboard gives a draft of between 2.10 ft (0.64 m) and 5.50 ft (1.68 m). [3]
It has a spooned, raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller.
The masthead sloop rig may be equipped with a spinnaker. [1] The hull speed is 5.7 kn (10.6 km/h). [3]
The cabin has four berths. In the cabin there is a sink to port and an ice box to starboard. The head, 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) water tank, and grey water tank are in the V-berth. Cabin headroom is 66 in (168 cm). [1]
Interior trim is mahogany, and exterior trim is teak. [2]
There is an outboard motor mount in a well in the bulkheaded self-draining lazarette. [3]
