Windrose 24

[1][3][4] The Windrose 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim and a cabin "pop-top" for increased headroom.

It has a fractional sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel.

The optional sliding galley is located on the starboard side and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink.

The result was usually, as in this case, a lightweight cruiser, not especially fast or stable, but designed for trailering and easy beaching for a picnic.

Best features: Like her comp[etitor]s, the Windrose 24 has a modestly sized sailplan, in keeping with her low (25%) ballast-to-displacement ratio and swing keel of only 600 pounds.
