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 110 This Way Up Ian Lane & Daryl Langdon Colac, Victoria, Australia 1999 National and Victorian Swing Keel Champions. 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

RL24 231 Splice Adrian Cassar Ormond, Vic, Australia After about 10 years of kicking about in dinghys (125's), we as a family decided to step up. After two weeks of sniffing around we found the right boat for us and bought the boat from Ken Griffiths on 23 May 2004, an RL24MK3 converted from swing to drop. Family and I can't wait to test it out and get to know her. At the inaugural launch, we will be renaming her from Splice to "Nelsons Victory". We couldn't change the name from 'Slice' as everyone we bump into seems to know of the boat and its history. So Splice it remained. After a year and a half we are finally getting to know how it all works. Will attempt the Nationals for first time this year (Jan 2006) - if I can motivate the crew). Sadly the day had come to sell Splice December 2007 after 3 1/2 years. A family from SA bought her. This is not the end of RL's for the Cassar Family as we move into the Liaison chapter, another RL24 MKIV just a bit newer, minimum weight and very fast. Our next chapter is the purchase of Benchmark RL28 from Goolwa in SA April 2008. This boat is for the cruising only stuff, we will keep Liaison RL24 for a while and race her only. Edit

RL24 No # Boondoggle Chris & Keller Ashby E. Fairfield, VT, United States Just bought the boat, she wasn't named and we haven't deceided yet. Bit of a basket case. I think it's one of the US made ones. Hull number RLT11303M81J. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I also need to find a foward hatch as it is missing, any help would be greatly appreciated. Finally she has gone in the water. Two years of labor fixing her up. We had to repair the swing keel trunk edges and strip her down to bare fiberglass. Repainted the whole boat, hull and topsides. Fixed the rudder, closed in the front hatch, recaulked the windows (still leak a little) stripped the interior of the bad carpet job. So she is a whole new boat just about, on the outside anyway. She has spent time on Lake Champlain, Vermont. She handles very nicely, very stable boat. This summers projects include rewiring her lights and fixing up the interior. Edit

RL24 267 Pisces Gem Mike & Robyn Zikan Townsville, Qld, Australia We are first time RLers in fact almost first time sailors. We purchased our RL24 from a local here in Townsville when it was named Accordance. This is a modified RL with fixed keel and a raised cabin. I am not sure of the Mark but suspect it could be III. We have only recently taken over the boat but have had the hull cleaned, anti-fouled and repainted. And we re-christened her to more represent her new owners and hopefully new lease on life. We are anticipating some great sailing around these northern waters and a labour of love in restoration. Edit

RL28 Polaris Rob Roseworne Port Stephens, NSW, Australia Built to Survey, still able to hold her own in general race conditions, testament to design that Survey did not require any structural adjustment. Has been used as a Bareboat for Hire in Port Stephens for many years. Ideally suited to this area and spends most weeks, resting in the Myall Lakes system. The Layout of the RL28 has proven to be most favourable to families of up to 6. When not on hire, sits at the Peppers Anchorage Corlette and is often used for Team Building exercises for conferences and Match Races against her Sister Yacht "Nautilus", also an RL28. Edit
RL24 GB10 Pigs might fly Chris & Norah Johnson Augusta, WA, Australia Purchased from Ian Mieklejohn, Busselton. Edit
RL24 84 Blue Rhapsody Bruce McIntosh Port Elliot, SA, Australia We have owned Blue Rhapsody since 1997. Since this time we have kept it on hard standing at Goolwa, which is on the Lower Murray River, near the river mouth. The only time this boat has made it into blue water (at least in the time we have owned it) is when we occasionally take it through the Goolwa Barrage and cruise along the Coorong. We have aspirations of building a new trailer (the current one has no suspension and is probably not road worthy), launching it from Wirinna and sailing it over to Kangaroo Island. This has been on the drawing board for some time, you know how it is, family and work commitments. Every year we enter this yacht in the Milang to Goolwa, which is reportedly the largest freshwater classic in the Southern Hemisphere. We normally manage to more than hold our own against other RL24's. Despite the boat's age we can normally keep pace with more expensive craft like Farr's and Noelex 25's. We also enter it in the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club's twighlight events during the warmer months. During one such event we broached and managed to sink the old girl - me thinks the self righting ability in this particular boat is no longer intact! However it was salvaged and is still as quick as ever. Our boat has a spartan interior with few creature comforts, the fresh water tank is gone and the outboard well has been covered up with the old Suzuki hanging on a bracket. It has a fully battened main and many of the sheets and deck fittings are so large they would look at home on a supermaxi. Obviously in a past life this was a serious racing machine, although it is only a swing keel version. We believe it is a MKII but aren't sure - we do know it was built in 1979. Edit

RL24 45 Goforit Steve North , , Australia Edit
RL28 Winsome Mike Barnden adelaide, sa, Australia Recent purchase. New trailer made - works well. New flexible snapfurl fitted, ideal for safe derigging. Refinished hull back to glass then added a layer of glass in Vinyl ester resin topped with vinyl ester fill coat then final gel coat. This should eliminate any osmosis. There were some small bubbles around the water line when the boat was purchased. I rebuilt around the keelbox eliminating a number of years of nudging reefs. I suspect this boat was made for charter but have no real history to work with, any help I would appreciate. Sails well but seems to have a lot of weather helm in a blow. Edit
RL34 1 RQ34 GERONIMO Bob Kerwin Hastings, Vic, Australia First out of the mould,though i think the RL34 that was made of wood would be still sailing.Geronimo was originally Rob Legg's own RL 34, well known up the Queensland coast,i boughr her and had it trucked from Manley Qld. now she sails the tidal waters of Westernport and coastal Victoria, I am very happy with the roomy fitout and the way she sails, she is proving to be a very good choice for this area and is great for getting in and out of creeks, or a speedy pasage along the bass strait coast and is easly sailed single handed many inprovments since owning including,new prop shaft and coupling new ST 4000 mk2 autopilot with GPS interface,new radios,a new Maxwell vwc 800 anchor winch fitted sept. 2005 Edit

RL24 None Telesis Ron Tate Annapolis, MD, USA I've had this boat since it came off the line in 1980.

This boat sails very well in a full range of conditions. Edit

RL24 ka186 PAREMA Mark and Linda sewell denham, / shark bay, wa, Australia I first bought Parema in 2002. I was 57 years old, single, a novice sailor, twice divorced, an Alcholic<20 years>a smoker of 43 years,and had suffered with a bad back for 25 years. my life was in a mess. and my sailing was a disaster. then two years ago, a friend told me about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. from then on my life started to improve, i gave up drinking and smoking,and last year i married a wonderfull christian lady. We are now running our own buisness, Canaan Land and Marine Services, and life is Plain sailing.Thank you Lord. Update. it is now 2008 Parema is looking, and sailing, better than ever with heaps of modifications.and Shark bays winds and tides are still a rewarding challenge. Edit

RL24 267? Minki Alex Kostin Townsville, Qld, Australia A Townsville RL24 that was purchased from Rob ? of the Burdekin AG College and used to be called 'rampant'. I have had her for over 20 years now and she's still used for fishing and cruising and the occaisional trip out to the reef. The best we've done is 7 days on Davies Reef and the furthest out we've been is to Pith Reef which is 57 miles offshore. We were lucky enough to be blessed with excellent weather! If any owners are in the T'ville region and need some advice then! Edit

RL34 LOBO John & Marg McMaster River Heads, QLD, Australia We've just purchased this RL34 and have relocated her to Hervey Bay. She needs a bit of work but even so sails beautifully. A clean up and some work will see us cruising by 2006. We are the second owners. Edit
RL34 NorsemanQ Dick Cribb Brisbane, Qld, Australia NorsemanQ is moored at the Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club in Manly. This boat was originally built to survey for my brother-in-law Ian Wilson and I have owned it for the last 6-7 years since Ian's health prevented him from using it. It has had one other owner for 9 months just recently for a trip to Hinchinbrook Island and back and I repurchased it September this year. It was originally fitted out as a sail training vessel. I have since replaced the Volvo MD7B with a Volvo Penta 2030. It had totally new running and standing rigging in 2005. Edit
RL34 33 Geronimo 2 Ron Drinnen Brisbane, QLD, Australia Owned RL28 "Mylos" for 10 years then purchased RL34 Geronimo 2 from Rob Legg in 1993. Geronimo 2 was the last boat Rob built for himself before selling the business. We transformed her from a racing boat to a serious cruising boat. Have installed a fixed 3 blade prop, jib furler, lazy jacks, spray dodger, bimini, cockpit cover, auto-pilot, solar panels(200w), Elect. anchor winch, second fridge/freezer + battery bank + switch board (aft.cabin) GPS, VHF, HF, Davits, Elect. toilet & holding tank, etc. Refurbished internally 2005 including new hull liner throughout and bunk cushions. Dagger board is full height giving 6ft. draft, board down. Surveyors report for insurance earlier this year was complimentary. Have cruised to the Sandy Straits and Whitsundays many times and as far north as Lizard Island. She has proved to be a safe and reliable yacht on coastal cruising and a pleasure to sail.Currently moored at RQYS, Manly, Brisbane. Edit

RL28 125 Sandpiper Garry Beattie Elliott Heads, Qld, Australia We purchased "Sandpiper" from Stephen Claffey in Maryborough (9/3/2006) and it now calls Elliott Heads it's home port. We have made some changes such as a larger, 130W solar panel, 50L Fridge, 45L Freezer, GPS system, DVD with 15" LCD TV, BBQ etc to make it more of a cruising boat.

I noticed it for sale on Ebay . The boat didn't sell at auction so I made an offer which was accepted and drove 5 hours to NY to purchase it. Have the hull and rigging back in great shape , now need to work on the interior. Replace carpet etc..The sail number I got off the the old registry. Came with a set of Oday sails.

Status 580 32 The Box Angie Rickwood Hamilton Island, Queensland, Australia After much discussion wih Hamos' Commodorable, Greg Alward(The Lemon) and Windsurfing Denis (Cool Runnings), I tracked down The Box in Southport August 2006. It was packed and sent to the island via road frieght, 4wd and barge. She has an old 16ft skiff mast. No running backstays. I have lifted her and the hull is good. A nice royal blue. It might have been red. However I really have to give The Box a lot of love as she is tired. Everthing I go to use I have to fix or replace. A friend has rebuilt the rudder and she balances nicely. I am on the look out for skiff or status sails as the wardrobe is flogged and will be no doubt be for another season. Another Status 580?! I had my first sail the other day and it just rocked. The new jackstays were really tested in 25 knots. I am teaching my friends to sail and what a great boat for teaching. Everyone wants to go in my Box! Twilight racing has started. With 3 Status 580s we need a sponsor for our division. I can be found between the Boatyard and Marina Office. Fair winds my friend! Edit

RL24 428 Tiga Colin Skinner Katoomba, NSW, Australia a MkIV drop keel version. I bought her from down at Jervis Bay. Actually I swapped my Roberts 25 keel boat for her and a little extra. At first I thought she might be too tender for me but after sailing a mate's RL24 mkIV at this seasons Nationals at lake Macquarie I now know how to handle her. I changed down from a previous Seaway 25 as it was getting too heavy to handle and lift the mast. Nice boat though. The RL is a dream to launch, tow, and even sail. A true off the beach TS and a lot of fun with regular 8knot speeds being achieved. I took her out the heads (Sydney) a few days ago and she loved the swell. No water came over the rails. i am considering a trip to Port Stephens up the coast but will pick the weather and the crew. i have sailed all my TS's offshore including a Boomarang 20 in 55knots and the Seaway in 35 to 40knots. No worries and great fun. May see you guys around some where out there on the liquid stuff. Edit

RL34 SV ROMA David Marsh Bokarina, QLD, Australia Purchased in April 08 she had sat for 12 months at the Yamba marina before I purchased her and sailed her up the coast to her new home at Mooloolabar. Was an interesting sail in that the Volvo Penta diesel had overheated and had to be shut down just prior to being hit by a storm off the coast of Ballina. Managed to get the Genoa furled but the severe squall hit before I could get the main down and as a result the main exploded and ended up a rag. Completed the journey on the poled out Genoa and finally found the motor overheating problem and fixed it in time to complete the last 10 hours with the Volvo purring like a kitten. Now that she is home she will be spruced up with a new main and lots of love and care. A great seaworthy boat!! Would love to contact other RL34 owners and learn more about the boat. Email: marshdav@hotmail.com. Edit

RL28 152 Sea Horse Mel Teudt Carrara, QLD, Australia Purchased in January 2007 from Peter (Charley) and Anne Pratt, the boat was then named Charley's Pride Peter bought the hull and all other fittings and completed construction on the front lawn of his home by 1990. After taking possession my brother and I sailed her up to Mooloolaba for our maiden voyage, and the return trip to the Gold Coast. The boat was then trailered to Sydney, where I spent several weeks sailing around Sydney Harbour before starting restoration works. Under her new name SEA HORSE, she was re-launched in January 2009 with a new Mercury 15hp 4 stroke motor which proved to be ideal. We are now requesting information on a suitable furler for the jib, and help from anyone who has installed a holding tank for the toilet system. We plan to sail/motor her down the Hawkesbury River to Broken Bay in the next few weeks, and next year our plan is to return to Queensland and the Whitsundays. Edit

RL28 22 Bolero Ken Robertson Brisbane, Qld, Australia I bought Bolero from Russell Gibbard in June, 2009. She's been stored at Beachmere and is in beautiful condition. Bolero is my first big boat after a 14 foot dinghy and a Boomeroo 22. The RL28 is such a comfortable boat. After a weekend aboard, I come home feeling relaxed and rested. She's also beautifully balanced, set the tiller with a shock cord and she sails herself, heeling and correcting with the swell. I'm very proud to join the RL family and look foward to many years of sailing adventures in and beyond Moreton Bay. Edit

RL28 144 black beard ray armstrong gosford, nsw, australia Hi, I have owned this boat for about 15 years or so. I bought it from a bloke in Qld who had bought it from the original owner. Apparently it was one of the last RL 28's made & was built for a Brisbane doctor to race. It was a special build & much kevlar & light weight materials were used. It also had extra mast height. The story goes that the doctor was so severally handicapped, after winning most races on the East Coast that he sold it in disgust! I would love to find out if all this was true, so if anyone has any info on black beard (sail # 144)I would love to hear from them. Many thanks. Edit

RL24 63/144 Mistral Lorraine Cooper Torquay, Qld, Australia My sail was numbered 63 but the new number over the top is 144, not sure why? The history of Mistral I am lead to believe is the prototype for the beginning of a new era of sailing! Edit
