About the CASCADE 24
The Cascade 24 is a 24.0 ft masthead sloop designed by Robert Smith and built by Yacht Constructors Inc./Cascade Yachts (USA) in 1977. With a displacement of 4430.0 lb and a full/long keel, this vessel represents a specific era of American production with an unknown total hull count.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and trailerable boat owners seeking a stable, traditional full-keel design that is easy to handle and maintain.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.83 and a full/long keel providing directional stability, the Cascade 24 is suitable for protected coastal passages but lacks the heavy displacement typically preferred for extended bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Pearson 24 and O'Day 23, which share similar 24-foot dimensions, full keel configurations, and target the same coastal cruising market.
