About the COGNAC 24
The Cognac 24 is a classic French coastal cruiser designed by P. Harlé and built by Chantier Aubin (FRA) between 1968 and 1985, with a total production of 150 hulls. Its compact dimensions and moderate displacement reflect its origins as a practical, trailerable daysailer and weekend cruiser.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, particularly for couples or small families seeking a manageable, trailerable vessel for local waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 3748.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.3, the Cognac 24 is designed for coastal use and lacks the heavy displacement and structural robustness required for serious offshore bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and the Pearson 23, as they share similar era, trailerable size, and coastal cruising roles with comparable beam and draft characteristics.
