About the HUSKY 24 MS
Said to be a shortened version of the FAIRY FISHERMAN. HUSKY HUSTLER is an aft cabin/center cockpit version form the same builder.
The Husky 24 MS is a compact, heavy-displacement cruiser designed by C.W. Burnard and built by Yacht Haven Ltd. (UK) in 1962. With a build count of ? hulls, this vessel represents a specific era of British boatbuilding characterized by robust construction and conservative design.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and protected waters, appealing to owners who prioritize a stable, comfortable ride over high-speed performance. Its manageable size and heavy displacement make it a practical choice for weekend warriors or those seeking a low-maintenance, traditional sailing experience.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the high displacement of 6504.0 lb and low capsize ratio of 1.85 suggest inherent stability, the short LOA of 23.95 ft and limited production history restrict its suitability to coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other 1960s British 24-footers such as the Wayfarer or the Sunfast 24, though the Husky distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement and twin/triple keel configuration. It shares DNA with other C.W. Burnard designs that prioritize seakindliness and stability over planing capabilities.
