| Broker's Comments
The Achilles 24 must be one of the sweetest little cruiser-racers of all time. Although a fast pocket cruiser she has aquitted herself well in offshore races and has even been trans-atlantic. Not roomy on the accomodation front when compared to some more recent 'floating caravans' she rewards the keen sailor with impeccable handling and a good turn of speed. She has berths for four, but two would be more realistic for cruising.
This example benefits from a triple keel and so can take the ground on drying moorings. She is well made (as all Chris Butler's boats were) and very well presented.
This boat has been viewed and photographed by Mike de Graaf of Boatshed Wales. Register or log in to see 40 more photos of this boat. These boat details are subject to contract.
