Designed by C.W. Burnard and first launched in 1962, this classic 24-footer represents the golden age of British yacht design when seaworthiness and traditional craftsmanship were paramount. Built by Yacht Haven Ltd. in the UK, the Husky 24 Ms features distinctive twin keels that allow for comfortable beach drying and access to shallow waters while maintaining good directional stability under sail. The wood and fiberglass construction reflects the transitional period of boat building, combining traditional materials with emerging technologies. Her masthead sloop rig and generous sail area of 2,582 square feet provide spirited performance for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. The twin keel configuration makes her particularly appealing to sailors who frequent tidal waters or prefer the security of being able to take the ground. With a displacement of 6,504 pounds and a beam of 8.60 feet, she offers a good balance of stability and accommodation for her size. The moderate comfort ratio of 27.46 suggests she's well-suited for coastal cruising rather than extended offshore passages, while her capsize screening value indicates reasonable stability characteristics. Her hull speed of 5.92 knots reflects typical performance expectations for a cruising yacht of this vintage and displacement.
