Description:

The F-24 Mk I is a versatile sports cruiser, very well designed and adapted for day sailing, weekend adventuring or one-design racing. Its easy handling, very shallow draft and slick trailerability make the 24 Mk I a boat that can be sailed on almost any stretch of water. Its agility and sparkling performance at speeds of up to 20 kts make it exhilerating to race.

This model was later adapted to the Corsair 24 Mk II.
