About the JOUËT 24
Shoal Draft vers. Draft: 3.77'. Similar to SUD 25.
Designed by Daniel Tortarolo and built by Yachting France (FRA) between 1977 and 1982, the Jouët 24 is a compact masthead sloop with a production run of 180 hulls. This data-driven synthesis reflects owner reports and listings for this specific vintage, noting a lack of widespread structural complaints in the analyzed corpus.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, lightweight vessel that is easy to trailer and single-hand, given its 3858.0 lb displacement and 23.62 ft LOA.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low D/L ratio of 185.98 and a capsize ratio of 2.26, the Jouët 24 is designed for coastal comfort rather than heavy offshore passage-making, prioritizing agility over heavy displacement stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and Pearson 23, as they share similar 23-foot footprints, fin keels, and roles as accessible entry-level cruisers from the late 1970s.
