Seidelmann 24
Description
The Seidelmann 24 is the smallest production sailboat designed by Bob Seidelmann, built by Seidelmann Yachts (New Jersey, USA) in the late 1970s through the early 1980s. It was conceived as a performance-oriented trailerable cruiser/racer, offering lively handling and a surprisingly spacious interior for its size. The Seidelmann 24 shares its design DNA with Seidelmann’s larger boats — emphasizing a tall masthead rig, fin keel, and spade rudder — making it fast, responsive, and competitive in club racing while still being practical for weekend cruising.
