About the NEPTUNE 24 FK
I = 30 ft J = 9.75 ft P = 24.75 ft E = 9 ft Short Keel: draft - 4 ft; ballast - 1,000 lbs
The Neptune 24 FK is a compact masthead sloop designed and built by Capital Yachts Inc. in the USA, with production records indicating a build year of 1978. As a lightweight vessel with a displacement of 3200.0 lb and a beam of 7.98 ft, it represents a specific era of American trailerable yacht construction.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and trailerable weekend getaways, appealing to owners seeking a manageable, lightweight package for protected waters rather than heavy offshore passage-making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 3200.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 14.19, the Neptune 24 FK is not designed for bluewater cruising and is best restricted to coastal and inland waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other 1970s trailerable sloops such as the O'Day 23 or Catalina 22, which share similar LOA dimensions and target the same market of entry-level coastal cruisers.
