Trailer Sailer 24
Description
The Trailer Sailer 24 is a compact, trailerable pocket cruiser designed by Chesapeake Marine Design (CMD) in the USA, as a smaller sibling to their larger Trailer Sailer 32. Introduced in the 2000s as a plans-based or kit build for DIY enthusiasts, it prioritizes ease of towing, shallow-water access, and cozy overnighting while delivering solid sailing performance. Constructed from plywood and epoxy with a strip-planked hull for durability and lightness, it features leeboards instead of a traditional centerboard for minimal draft and simpler trailering. This design appeals to solo sailors, couples, or small families seeking a "go-anywhere" boat that launches from public ramps without hassle. A handful have been built from plans, emphasizing affordability and customization.
