The 2.4 Metre originated from Stockholm 1983 by local yacht designers who used the "R Metre" rule to create a single-handed keelboat, 2.4mR. The helm sits down in the boat facing forward with all the controls within arms reach, the sailing is not physically demanding and racing is done in one open class with men, women, young and old, abled and disabled sailors racing together.

The International 2.4mR Racing Sailboat

Boat FAQ: 2.4mR Information

The international 2.4mr racing sailboat (known as the 2.4 meter).

What is it??

The 2.4 meter is perhaps the best, most fun single handed boat you will ever sail. It can be as tactical, technical, and fast as you want it to be.  In many ways, it is like sailing your own small 12 meter. Anyone who has sailed a 2.4 meter will tell you that they are exciting to sail, very competitive to race, and offer loads of FUN. . The class includes former Americas Cup sailors, one-design champions, disabled sailors, cruising class sailors, and people of all ages and genders who love to sail. The best thing about the 2.4 meter is that each sailor competes on an equal level of sailing ability – not agility. Some have call this boat “the great equalizer” because it really levels the playing field for sailors of all ages and abilities.

The 2.4 meter is 13 feet 8 inches long. It is easily handled, trailered, launched and stored. It is designed for competitive sailing, falling under broad technical and class administration of the International 2.4mR Class Association and the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). The class has been recognized by the ISAF (formerly the IYRU) since 1993. Because these boats do not require excessive strength and hiking is not required (nor permitted), a very broad spectrum of sailors sail competitively. In fact, all sailors sail competitively.

To note, the 2010 2. 4 meter World Championship was won byPaul Tingley, a parpelegic from Canda. This shows that sailing ability is the key to winning in this boat, rather than physical agility. In the 2.4mR, a sailor’s personal dedication and determination to compete can overcome obstacles inherent in other sailboat designs.

1. Question – How long is a 2.4 meter? Answer – approximately 13′ 8″ long. The 2.4 designation refers to the class and measurement rule to which it is designed and built. Not its length.

2. Q – How much does a 2.4 meter boat weigh? A – It weighs about 572 pounds, including 400 pounds of removable lead ballast. It is light enough to trailer behind a small vehicle or just put 2 in the back of a pick-up truck. With the ballast removed it can even be car topped. The hull weighs about 142 pounds and can be lifted by two people.

3. Q – Where can I see a 2.4 meter? A – There are a number of active fleets in the United States including: St. Petersburg, Miami/Fort Lauderdale, FL; Stamford/Darien, CT; and Seattle, WA.  Fleet activity is steadily increasing. Any owner will be proud to demonstrate the boat and explain the benefits of ownership and joining in the local fun. An active race schedule is in place each year, with summer races mostly in the northeast and Canada and winter races in Florida. Check the website for a complete schedule.

4. Q – How many boats are in the fleet? A – The US fleet has approximately 200 boats and the world fleet is in excess of 1,200. It is not uncommon to see of 25 or more at regatta starting lines in Europe. And World Championships generally have a fleet of 75 to 100 boats.

5. Q – How many are required for the crew of a 2.4 meter? A – One – The 2.4 meter is single handed. The entire boat can be made ready for sailing in less than 30 minutes by one person, including setting the mast in place. No more hassles of finding a crew for racing – you are it! Unless you wish to take your grandchild for ride!

6. Q – Where can I buy a 2.4 meter? A – Visit our boat supplier page .

7. Q – I am a sailor, 60 years old, weigh over 200 pounds and I am not as mobile as I once was! Can I really compete in the 2.4 meter? A – Absolutely! The 2.4 meter is suited to your description and capabilities. By design, weight is not a factor in winning or losing and you can compete with and challenge the experts. One contestant in a recent US National Championship was over 75 years young, with others over the age of 60. Age, size and physical condition are not the standards for successful and enjoyable sailing and racing in a 2.4 meter. It is suitable for all age and skill levels and is actively raced by people with many forms of physical limitations. It is a boat you can continue to grow into.

8. Q – Can a beginning sailor handle a 2.4 meter? A – The boat is a great training tool for beginners. Because you steer with foot pedals, it is much easier for the beginner to learn to sail. All the lines to trim the main and jib are right in front of you, and sitting in the boat gives you great visibility to the sails.

9. Q – What can I learn from sailing a 2.4 meter? A – Many people believe that there is nothing that cannot be learned or improved upon by sailing a 2.4 meter. Since you are the skipper, the tactician and the crew, every decision is yours to make, and yours to execute. If you make a mistake – you know instantly as the boat reacts to your action. When you do the right thing – the reward is an instantaneous positive reaction. Each time you sail you will learn something new or improve on a already established skill.

10. Q – Is the 2.4 meter FAST? A – Speed in a displacement sailboat is determined by length, type and wind velocity. The design of the 2.4 meter produces a long water line in proportion to its overall length. This in turn allows for higher “speed” potential. As the boat is technically advanced in design, construction and rig, finding and improving upon the ultimate “speed” of your boat is what it is all about.

11. Q – Will the boat sink if it is swamped? A – The boat is designed to have positive flotation when filled with water. The flotation of each boat is inspected and observed when the vessel is originally measured. It is, however, the responsibility of each operator to insure that their boat has the proper flotation. Each boat is equipped from the factory with a manual bilge pump. An optional electric bilge pump is available.

12. Q – How wet is the 2.4 meter when sailed? A – In smooth water and rolling swells, the boat is quite dry. However, in a short chop there is a good amount of spray, which is part of the fun. The built-in bilge pump enables you to easily eliminate any excess water, and most boats have an electric pump that cycles on when water is in the bilge.

13. Q – The 2.4 meter looks delicate! Will it withstand hard use? A – The boat is well designed and solidly built of reinforced fiberglass and should not be considered delicate. But, as with any type of boat, docks and seawalls are stronger and can inflict damage. Normal care must be exercised whenever a boat is operated. The boat is designed to sail and race actively and when provided with reasonable care and maintenance should provide an investment for many fun filled years of racing and sailing.

14. Q – Must I belong to a sailing or yacht club to race in the class? A – NO! The class is not associated with any sailing or yacht club and is open to all people interested in the goals of the class, either as a Participating (owner) or an Associate member (non-owner). Yearly dues are collected by the Class Association and are currently  $95.00.  To continue the promotion of American sailing it is suggested that each Class member also become a member of US Sailing, the United States coordinating group of sail boat racing.

15. Q – What level of competition can I expect in the 2.4 meter? A – The class has drawn sailors form all age groups and skill levels ranging from America’s Cup participants to novices. The Class is very competitive and the 2.4 meter boat is an excellent platform for ANYONE to improve their sailing and racing skills through close competition in a technically advanced, ballasted single handed keel boat. Most regatta’s have different participants who may are men and women, youth and senior, skilled and learning, World and National Class sailors.

16. Q – Can the boat be launched from a ramp? A – Yes – With a suitable submersible trailer or dolly and good launching surface the boat can be launched and retrieved. When traveling to regatta’s the boat is simple to trailer behind almost any type of vehicle. It is also simple to rig and launch. Your enjoyment remains with sailing, not preparation.

17. Q – What types of sails are required? A – The Class calls for only a main and jib. Instead of a spinnaker, the boat has a whisker pole with an easy launching system to wing out the jib downwind. Many sail makers have produced effective racing sails. The choice of a sail maker should include their ability to relate to your needs and specific requirements and their recommendations to achieve maximum performance for your boat.

2090 2.4 Meter Norlin MRK lll Sailboats

• Description

Seller's Description

Imported from Europe

One design 2 2.4 Norlan MRK lll Trailer included Competition ready 400lbs. Kevlar sails Removable lead ballast electric beagle pump. Etc.

Equipment: Kevlar Sails and rigging

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Sail Sale, Delivery to Pacific Coast Championship – posted 2023-10-11

Jeff Reinhold, August 2023

I have too many 2.4mR sails (is that possible?) and I would be happy to sell them at reasonable prices for those that are interested. USD. This is what I have:

Quantum main – 2018 – Dacron. Very good condition. I only used it a couple of times. This sail does not require much back stay and it just wasn’t for me. A lot of people like them though. This has a small slit where the sail rubs against the shroud downwind and it has the extended foot that can be secured with Velcro upwind. Still very crispy!  $300

North F16 main #1 2012 – SOLD –  well used but still fast. The sail slug has been removed leaving only the ring (the slug is in the way on my boom). I last used this sail in FL in 2018 and only because the nicer sails I had got damaged. I finished a few boat lengths behind Dee Smith in one of those races, so the sail is fine.  $50

North FR1 Main – 2018 – good condition. I was using this as a practice sail prior to 2022 Worlds. $200

North TB4 jib – 2012 – SOLD –  the yellow sail! Was a practice sail for 2022 Worlds. A little thin but still has some life in it. $50

North F16 Main #2 -2012 – SOLD – This was another 2022 Worlds practice sail and is still in good condition. $100

North HB3 jib – 2012 – SOLD – Another yellow sail! This is one of my favorite sails. It has only been used for 4 races, but that was the day before a hurricane, so it looks like it has more races in it. $100

North FRH1 main – 2022 – SOLD – -new and unused. I bought this before I knew I could still get F16 sails so I haven’t used it. I have two of these. I am thinking I will hold on to the other one for now but could be persuaded to part with both of them. $500

I have no idea what these “should“ be worth so pr ices are all negotiable. Make me an offer if you are interested. Please let me know before PCC and I will bring sails with me.

2.4 Meter Main - LM-T-C/SD

The LM-T-C/SD is our Technora Laminate bi-radial main for the Charger or SuperSpar D section mast. Designed as an all-purpose sail, the LM-T-C/SD requires more attention to trimming and tuning, but is fast when set up properly. Technora Laminate is a lighter, more static cloth than Dacron and has better shape retention. This sail was part of the winning inventory in the 2022 2.4mR World Championships in Tampa, FL. Includes: Battens, leech telltales, tack and clew slugs, cunningham grommet, vision window, tube roll bag, insignia, your choice of color for the sail number, and draft stripes.

2.4 Meter Main - LM-D-S

The LM-D-S is our Dacron bi-radial main for the standard SuperSpar mast. Designed as an all-purpose sail, the LM-D-S is the best sail choice if you prefer to use one mainsail through the wind ranges.

Includes: Battens, vision window, and tube roll bag.

2.4 Meter Jib - MH-D

Flatter than the LM design, the MH-D was designed for consistently windy conditions, but has shown to have excellent pointing ability in flat water in winds down to 10 kts. This sail performs particularly well in 13 kts and up. Dacron provides more flexibility in trimming and tuning and has a longer lifespan than Laminate cloths. Includes: Battens, vision window and tube roll bag.

George grew up in San Diego racing Stars, Lasers and Snipes. As a kid, he made sails for his model boats before eventually taking a part-time job with Quantum during high school and college. He came on full-time in 1993 as a sailmaker and designer. Using the latest computer design programs, George is able to create the fastest, most efficient sails for smaller One Design boats. This technology, combined with his intimate understanding of One Design sailing, allows him to create the most versatile sails available. The San Diego loft designs a variety of One Design sails, including Thistle and Lido 14, but their specialties are Olympic Class Star and Snipe boats. George is the 2009 Star World Champion, as well as an 21-time National/North American Champion. In addition to his sail-making abilities and wins, he is also an accomplished keelboat tactician and trimmer.

Sailboats - Racing

Stradivari 2.4 hc.

This is my latest design for the Twopointfour metre class. An easy to build lowbudget boat ment to be competetive on the race course. The idea is to have the same measured length as the Norlin Mk III that costitutes the bulk of the class in order to be able to fit it out with used sails and spars.Using 4mm cheap and light asian plywood like Lauan sheated with 160gr/m2 cloth and epoxy should make for a light, stiff and cheap hull/deck.Temporary keel and ruddermoulds can be made of hot wire cut foam. Another way to fix a keel would be to take moulds off of another 2,4.On the first boat I will use ther old keelmould from the original Norlin Mk III.My estimate is that you should be able to build a boat for about 1/4-1/3 of what you pay for a new boat.If you get together and build a couple of boats with your friend in your club it can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience.Plans are available and plan is to make a kit with the plywood parts precut available.
