Jarkan J24 Bashford 2653

J/24 Bashford - Proven One-Design Racer

The J/24 is one of the world's most successful and enduring one-design keelboats, renowned for its excellent performance, forgiving handling, and strong class racing support. This Australian Bashford-built example presents as a clean and tidy club racer or recreational keelboat package, ready to enjoy immediately.

The hull has recently been polished and presents well for its age, with the boat offering the ideal balance between competitive sailing and easy ownership. Whether you are looking to enter club racing, twilight sailing, or enjoy affordable keelboat ownership, the J/24 remains one of the best platforms available.

Included is a Jinker trailer with near-new hubs, bearings, and wheels, making transport and storage straightforward and economical.

The sail wardrobe provides a practical mix for club racing and cruising, including a mainsail, No. 2 jib, No. 1 genoa (serviceable but older), and a spinnaker in good condition with spinnaker pole.

Auxiliary power is provided by a late-model Mercury 3.5hp four-stroke outboard, offering reliable and quiet operation for manoeuvring and launching.
