The design was built by Corsair Marine in the United States, from 1991 to 1994, but it is now out of production.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Guide"/><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/corsair-marine|title = Corsair Marine|access-date = 6 May 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220327134117/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/corsair-marine|archive-date= 27 March 2022|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/corsair-marine|title= Corsair Marine|access-date= 7 May 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220502205426/https://sailboat.guide/corsair-marine|archive-date= 2 May 2022|url-status= live}}</ref>

==Design==
The F-24 Sport Cruiser is a recreational [[Engineering:Sailboat|sailboat]], built predominantly of [[Chemistry:Vacuum bag moulding|vacuum bag molded]] [[Chemistry:Fiberglass|fiberglass]], [[Chemistry:Kevlar|Kevlar]], carbon fiber over a foam core. It has a [[Engineering:Fractional rig|fractional]] [[Engineering:Sloop|sloop]] rig with a rotating mast. The hull and outriggers have nearly plumb stems and reverse transoms. The hull has an open transom, a transom-hung [[Engineering:Rudder|rudder]] controlled by a [[Engineering:Tiller|tiller]] and a retractable daggerboard. It displaces {{convert|1800|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries no ballast.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Guide"/><ref name="GoogleBooks"/>

The beam is {{convert|17.92|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the outriggers deployed and {{convert|8.17|ft|m|abbr=on}} them folded.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Guide"/>

The boat has a draft of {{convert|4.67|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the daggerboard extended and {{convert|12|in|cm|abbr=on}} with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, [[Engineering:Beaching (nautical)|beaching]] or ground transportation on a [[Engineering:Boat trailer|trailer]].<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Guide"/>

The design has sleeping accommodation for two adults and two children. The [[Engineering:Galley (kitchen)|galley]] is equipped with a stove and a sink. A [[Engineering:Head (watercraft)|head]] is also provided.<ref name="GoogleBooks"/>

The design has a [[Physics:Hull speed|hull speed]] of {{convert|6.51|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Guide"/>
