The Hutton 24 is a compact Australian cruiser designed by Carl & Paul Hutton and built by Hutton Yachts in 1978. With a build count of ? hulls, this vessel represents a specific era of Australian boatbuilding, characterized by its 23.95 ft LOA and lightweight 2701.0 lb displacement.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, lightweight package that is easy to trailer and dock. Its dimensions and rigging make it particularly accessible for single-handers or couples looking for a low-maintenance entry into sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2701.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 12.98, the Hutton 24 is primarily suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its lightweight nature and 2.35 capsize ratio suggest it is best kept within sight of land and favorable weather windows.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1970s Australian 24-footers like the O'Day 23 or early Catalina 22s, which share similar masthead sloop rigs and trailerable footprints. These vessels are comparable due to their similar displacement ranges and focus on coastal cruising rather than heavy offshore performance.
