About the JUNKER 24
The Junker 24 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Sigurd Fr. Herbern and built by Holstebro Plastværk A/S in 1978. With a displacement of 4244.0 lb and a beam of 8.53 ft, this Danish-built vessel represents a specific era of European coastal cruising design.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, trailerable package with a fractional sloop rig that is relatively easy to handle.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.11 and a comfort ratio of 18.85, the Junker 24 is designed for coastal protection rather than serious offshore bluewater passage making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include the Beneteau First 235 and the O'Day 23, as they share similar LOA dimensions (approx. 23-24 ft) and target the same entry-level cruising market.
