Review of Spacesailer 24

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Spacesailer 24 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.30 - 1.40 meter (4.27 - 4.57 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Spacesailer 24 is 2.03, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Spacesailer 24 is about 108 kg/cm, alternatively 609 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 108 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 609 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

1984 Spacesailer 24ft sloop in excellent condition now for sale with DBY Boat Sales.

These pocket sized cruisers are amongst the largest interior volume boats on the market today and can accommodate up to 6 people.

Standing and Running rigging was replaced in 2009. The self-furling headsail and Furlex furler are 18 months old and in excellent condition.

An almost new 2018 Tohatsu 6hp 4 stroke outboard has been fitted.

This boat is immaculate and would make the ideal first yacht for club racing or cruising around the local waterways with family and friends.

A small draft of 4ft 3 inches allows safe entry into so many waterways. With her relatively low mast height, bridges are not a problem either.

A very fine example of these popular and sought after vessels. Located just near our sales wharf and ready to go. Won't be on the market long at this price and condition. Get sailing this summer.
