She is not just beautiful, she is tough. Build with hand laid GRP with the hull built stronger than Lloyds require and has been epoxy coated. The Deck is GRP with a balsa core. A steel section heavily reinforced GRP skeg while the rudder has a stainless steel bearing tube.

The anodised alloy mast is supported by 5mm stainless rigging where 4mm would normally be used. Achilles 24 combines a satisfactory degree of cruising comfort with the kind of speed and seaworthiness normally associated with yachts over 28ft in length. The smooth waterlines and moderate beam are allied to a low wetted surface area giving an easily driven hull. As a result, she only needs a moderate sail area to achieve a sparkling performance which is retained in all wind conditions. All rope lead back to cockpit except reefing lines Sails: Main - Dacron (year unknown) sets beautifully Genoa 1 - Mylar (year unknown) Genoa 2 - Dacron (year unknown) Jib 3 - Dacron (year unknown) lightly used Spinnaker - 2006 blue (fast sail) Equipment Spinnaker pole Main Anchor, kedge anchor & Rope Liferaft – unserviced Lifebuoy Dodgers Buckets Various ropes Navman wind/depth Navman VHF Garmin GPS Compass 4HP Long-shaft Outboard in well and plug for sailing Hull condition is prefect, Epoxy Coated & hand painted in Blue last year, Deck needs a coat of white paint to bring her back to her best.

Softness in Cockpit sole and on the coach roof, this has never affected her sailing inshore and coastal sailing. If you looking for a small yet safe yacht to either learn to sail or to cross the Atlantic this is the ideal boat, she really will look after you. This is how all sailing yachts, should be designed and build. The Keel Boats seem to be solid. I will be very sorry to see her go, she is Fantastic.
