1944 Luders 24

Luders 24 Overview

The Luders 24 is one of the many successful class boats built and designed by Bill Luders in Stamford CT. Originally designed for the Fishers Island Yacht Club for one-design racing for their junior sailors, it features a hull inspired by the meter boats of the International Rule instead of the prototypical "chunky little boat." Constructed using the famous hot molded method, the hull is stable, stiff, and strong, while also appealing to classic yacht enthusiasts.
