RL24 no # Knot Normal Jerry McKinstry Tallahassee, Florida, USA During what period were RL24's built in Minnesota? I have a 1980 model and presume it was built here in the US as opposed to having been sailed here from Australia. I have a MKI and it's great. I am in the process of selling for a larger boat; wife and child, you know. Can anyone give me thoughts on resale value here in the States? Edit

RL24 417 Serendipity Lynton Bradford OATLANDS, NSW, Australia My RL24 has been adapted for cruising. A home made Bimini has been installed (see photos in picture gallery), with removable side and front curtains. This has made a huge difference, keeping the skipper/crew out of the hot sun in summer and provides a cosy rain and windbreak in winter. We can sail comfortably as the mainsheet just clears the bimini both on and off the wind. We seldom need to use the side curtains, but the front curtain has double sided zippers for access inside and out. It also has snap on aluminum steps at the transom with extendable ladder down into the water for access from land or after swimming. I have a "handy billy" tackle to raise and lower the mast single handed, aided by modified inner stays and dual use spinnaker poles which keep the mast from swaying while being raised. Edit

RL24 F66(FSC) Seabird Neil Ensor SouthLake, W A 6164, Australia Bought from Mandurah 2yrs ago.Twilight at FBYC ;RPYC;Member of FSC.Used to cruise frequently to Thompsons bay,Rotto,but then used RL28 Sealeggs;I crew on a J24 at Freo.Love the trailer/sailer concept as moorings are a pain.Seabird 1st had a 5hp mariner(then an 8hp) on a leg;In fairly good nic for yr,Seabird featured in realestate adverts for Mandurah,in"TheWest" &"Sunday Times".She sports 3 new Roly Tasker sails from Phuket.very nice.After the rudder snapped returning from Rotto I replaced it using a keel from an YVONNE catamaran!Tired of the steel rope problems raising the swing keel,replaced it with Spectra,not perfect but less pricklely.After girlfriend complained about single bunks I widened the front 2 to the keel housing,but still tricky climbing in & out!worse getting to the porta potty!Sold in late 2002 to a couple in Augusta.(much missed)Had a RL28 then a Macgregor 26X(soldMay06)Now a Bavaria 40.Any 24's 4 sale?April'07 Edit
RL28 F66 ? Sealeggs(Dingo) Neil Ensor SouthLake, W A 6164, Australia Bought from Cairns via Brisbane 18 months ago.Formerly known as "Dingo" (guess y the name was changed ?before purchase was finallised of course),to allay any superstition.Sealeggs came with an Italian diesel which actually started upon arrival but soon died on maiden voyage,with mast down!just off the groin outside Fremantle Sailing club.Even with a workshop manuel & a professional diesel mechanic she never was to start again.So this involved a major rethink resulting in a Mercury 15hp being installed on a custom built s/s bracket into the well,now she flys.I swear my G.P.S. read 9 knots!!! honest.I,m not convinced the 14ft boom with roller reefing is the ideal set up as I have experienced her rounding up over 15 knots of wind;or perhaps I need sailing lessons!My mast is quite heavy with 3 pairs of stays to support her; unlike the lighter mast,shorter boom & 2pair stays of "Leggend" recently sold from F.S.C. to Flying Squadron (now returned) .Sealeggs is an older RL28 having the fixed cabin roof,and fixed winch handles.Athough the son of the previously deaceased owner towed it from Cairns to Brisbaine for sale,I have experienced much wheelbearing problems,just towing it from the ramp to the hardstand !Sold in Nov 2002 to a couple in Rockingham who plan to spray it Maroon (much missed) Edit

RL24 BARGEERA shaun Lane Midland, WA, Australia Have just repurchased her AGAIN.

I feel it may be necessery to fit a bulkhead at the rear of the forward bunks as she seems to flex a lot pulling the side decks down. is it normal for the RL24 to have the side deck canting in...?

RL28 70 Vermont Wil Wiemann Stretton, Qld, Australia Sadly sold earlier this year (2005) but have many happy memories. Inherited Vermont from my father who had spent the previous 10 years sailing her around Noosa, the Sandy Straits and all the way up to Bowen, mostly single handed. Since being passed the baton, I have completely stripped her down, resprayed the hull and deck, put in a new hatch and windows (which do not leak!) and refitted her internally. She looks like a new boat and is now parked at Horizon Shores, between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Both my kids (now 5 & 7) have grown up on Vermont, have sailed on her since they were 6 months old and know her as "Opa's Boat" and that's what she has written on the transom. Edit

RL24 241 Capt Hook Ray Hooker , Qld, Australia Capt Hook is a swing keel Mk111 RL24 that I built in 1979 using Robs' moulds. It was the first RL to be built with a sandwich construction using a Firet coremat and Kledgecel. It was also one of the first to use a fully battened mainsail. The hull colour is white and topsides (non-slip areas) are light blue. I sold the boat in 1988 and have since lost track of it. I would be interested to know where it is now. A word of * WARNING * to all those doing any refitting / renovations. It was common practice for fibreglass boat builders at least up to the mid 80s and sometimes later to bond the various moulding together with a "bog" comprising polyester resin and ASBESTOS. The colour of the bog is no indication since it was common practice to add left over gel coat to the mix. RL Yachts abandoned the use of asbestos in the early 80s. Capt Hook contained NO asbestos. Be very careful or better still avoid drilling or grinding the gunwhale area, keel / centreboard area or anywhere interior mouldings meet the hull particularly below the water line. Edit

RL24 428 Libearty Bell------previously Swagman John Haworth North Nowra, NSW, Australia First trailer yacht purchased 7/11/03.Looking forward to enjoying my retirement present. Watch this space.Having rebulit trailer,installed new electronics,added a new stern rail,updated all safetygear,enhanced standing rigging she is now ready to launch with the greatest of confidence I cannot wait. My very first venture out to Jervis Bay was a great success, not only did the boat sail beyond expectations the wind was gentle and steady, anyone would think that I was expected.I then put her through her paces in a regatta held on Jervis Bay and her performance was exilerating. I am now adding a safety rail forward, for added protection of the crew when they are launching the Kite or working with the Jib. We will be out on the water over the winter period fine tuning our sailing skills, in readiness for the RL24 Nationals Titles being held on the Gippsland Lakes at Paynesville from the 2nd to the 7th of janruary 05. All going well I will see you there. Edit
