About the DEL REY 24
It is thought that this model is from the same mold (or a 'splashed' copy) of the ISLANDER 24 BAHAMA.
The Del Rey 24 is a compact, fin-keel sloop designed by McGlasson and built by Blue Buoy Yacht Corp. in the USA, with production records indicating a build year of 1965. With a hull count listed as unknown, this vessel represents a specific era of American yacht building, characterized by a displacement of 4300.0 lb and a masthead sloop rig.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners who prioritize manageable size and classic aesthetics over long-range offshore capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 4300.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.97, the Del Rey 24 is designed for coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels from this era include the Pearson 24 and O'Day 23, which share similar dimensions and roles as entry-level cruising sloops with fin keels and moderate displacement.
