- San Juan 24
The San Juan 24 is a 24' yacht, and one of the most versatile
keelboat s for its size. It was designed by Bruce Kirby, for the Clark Boat Company, to the early 70's IOR standards, thus having a narrow entry and transom, with a wide beam. Over 1000 of these boats were built between 1972 and 1981.Since the Clark factory was located in
Auburn, Washington , some of these boats can be found at most marinas in thePacific Northwest . Several areas boast healthyone-design racing fleets - currently 12 boats regularly race on Wednesday evenings onLake Washington inSeattle , with other one-design fleets in Duluth, and Sheboygan.At 24' long, with a 5'4" cabintop, the SJ24 is a great cruising boat. Sleeping 4 adults, with a dinette table and galley, it is suitable for long weekends or extended trips on inland waters. With only a 4 foot draft, it can sail into shallow bays and waterways that would keep other boats away.
