The Wylie Wabbit 24 is a recreational keelboat first built in 1982.[1][2][3] A total of 63 boats were completed in the United States before it went out of production.[1][3]

Design

Designed by Thomas Wylie, the fiberglass hull is constructed with iso resin, E-glass, with a foam core on the hull bottom. a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 875 lb (397 kg) and carries 440 lb (200 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the standard keel.[1][3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin. Cabin headroom is 32 in (81 cm).[1][3]

It has a fractional sloop rig. For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker and a trapeze is also used for racing.[4]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 150 and a hull speed of 6.0 kn (11.1 km/h).[3]
