About the LUNA 24
Designed by E. Van De Stadt and built by Luna Yachts Ltd. (CAN) in 1981, the Luna 24 is a lightweight fractional sloop with a displacement of 2090.0 lb. While the exact hull count is unknown, the fleet data reflects a single-year production run that prioritizes performance over heavy displacement.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and day sailors who value easy handling and high sail area-to-displacement ratios, making it ideal for single-handers or couples seeking a responsive, trailerable package.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2090.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.57, the Luna 24 is not suited for serious offshore passage-making but is adequate for protected coastal waters given its fin keel and moderate draft of 4.3 ft.
- Comparables:
- It compares to other late-1970s and early-1980s performance day-sailers like the O'Day 23 or Catalina 22, sharing similar fractional rig configurations and light displacement characteristics aimed at quick acceleration.
