San Juan 24, built by Clark Boat Co (USA), 7,32 x 2,44 x 1,22m displ: 1451kg, Over 1200 of these boats were built between 1972 and 1981;

(Bruce Kirby 1/4 tonner) ‘Custard Pie’ off West Vancouver in the Mid '70s. The O.B. was required to be there, btw.
Bruce Kirby designed this boat to be a winner from the start. First launched in 1972, she proved to be a classic in design, speed, looks, popularity price. There are over a thousand sailing world-wide. In IOR heyday, the San Juan 24 held more IOR certificates than any other boat design. She's recognized to be particularly strong in light airs and in winds above 20 kts. Thanks for the picture Howard Macken!
