About the NEPTUN 24
Available with a swing keel. Draft: BU 0.55m / 1.8 ft; BD 1.1m / 3.6 ft
The Neptun 24 is a compact masthead sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Neptun Boote GmbH & Co KG between 1967 and 1973. With a displacement of 2866.0 lb and a beam of 8.2 ft, this vessel represents a lightweight, performance-oriented coastal cruiser from the late 1960s.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners who prioritize ease of handling and trailerability over heavy offshore protection.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2866.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 12.69, the Neptun 24 is not recommended for extended bluewater passages due to its light construction and limited seakeeping comfort.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other lightweight 24-foot trailerable sloops from the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as the O'Day 23 or Pearson 24, which share similar dimensions and a focus on recreational coastal use.
