The Achilles 24 is a British sailboat that was designed by Oliver Lee and Chris Butler as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1968.
[1][3][4][5][6] The Achilles 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim.
However Yachting Monthly magazine reported in 2009, "Butler competed in AZAB and OSTAR races in the Achilles 24, which featured a bulbed fin keel.
This gave the boat quite respectable speed and windward performance but a triple-keeled, shoal draught version was much more pedestrian.
"[1][3][4] The boat was initially fitted with a small outboard motor, with an inboard gasoline engine optional for docking and maneuvering.
