About the JAGUAR 24
Designed by Tony Castro and built by Jaguar Yachts Ltd., the Jaguar 24 is a compact fractional sloop with a production run starting in 1990. With a displacement of 3197.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 14.13, it offers a lightweight, performance-oriented platform for small-boat enthusiasts.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize ease of handling and trailerability over heavy offshore comfort. Its fractional sloop rig and relatively high SA/D ratio of 19.22 make it appealing to single-handers and couples seeking a responsive, low-maintenance daysailer.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 3197.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.23, the Jaguar 24 is primarily designed for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its lightweight hull form and short LOA of 23.98 ft limit its seakeeping ability in heavy offshore conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and Catalina 22, which share similar LOA dimensions and target the same trailerable coastal cruising market. Like the Jaguar 24, these designs emphasize simplicity and affordability, though the Jaguar's twin/triple keel option offers distinct shoal-draft advantages.
