RL 24 is a 23 ′ 11 ″ / 7.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Rob Legg and built by Rob Legg Yachts Ltd. between 1973 and 1987.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The RL 24 was originally developed and built in Australia. At least 500 were produced under licence in the US. A number of different variations in the design were built including both swing and drop keel versions. Basic history:
Mark I : The first 10 had a slight chine mark up forward due to the original plug configuration. Altogether 100 Mark I’s were built.
Mark II from 1976 featured an upgraded hull finish and a heavier centerboards for better stability.
Mark III built from 1980 had a new deck with increased headroom and interior alterations.
Mark IV is more performance oriented with a fully battened main and a drop keel. (Initiated by Peter Yeomans of Sydney.)

Thoughts on RL24 sailboat for 2 beginners?My husband and I want to get into sailing and have found what seems to be a good deal on an RL24. The boat needs - cushions for inside, wiring patched in places for night lights, and some cleaning. Comes with a trailer and 6hp 15 yo Johnson motor. Asking less than 1500. Would this be a good avenue to persue for 2 beginners? Boat is ready to sail, sound hull, etc. Would like some constructive thoughts. Also our sailing would be in our large lake, winds are decent.  RL24 and RL28 - Trailable Yachts from Rob Legg Yachts I have not heard of it, but here is a website with some info on it. Marty  For what they are they are highly regarded in Australia. Inland waters, coastal cruising etc , nice little boat.  The trailer and motor, if in good condition are probably worth $500-600 so your getting a boat for $1000. Can't see how you could go wrong. Learn to sail on it, your not going to win any races. When your are comfortable with wind and sea, then sell it for what you paid for it, and move on up. By then you have an idea of what you want in a boat. Do you want to race, cruise, raft up with the club, do overnighters, go for weekends, spend your whole vacation or sell everything and move aboard. There are a lot of options once you the bit by sailing.  I had read on the RL site and others that some people say these boats will tip over! Which sort of scared me! Also read this is a racing boat? We are interested in learning to sail and cruising - maybe spending the night out some on the lake....just making sure im not getting the wrong boat. Guys - also found a 1984 22foot hunter - with 1 yo honda 4 stroke - great condition, no trailer, 1500....which would be the better choice of boat between this and the RL24? Since these boats are SAILboats and you will probably be using the sails quite a bit more than the motor, how are the sails on each? All things being equal the Hunter is probably a bit more resellable than the RL24 but the 24 probably has more room. Unless you are going to sail in some really draconian winds, I don't think I would worry about a 24footer capsizing. You may dump it on its rails but it should right itself, especially if the CB is down and locked. oh yes on the sails - all are great condition. just nice to know you have a reliable motor if you need it, ya know? Especially since we are new to this! If I was looking to do a Dylan Winter around Australia then I'd more than likely opt for an RL28 or preferably 34 but as I said earlier for what it is the RL24 is a fine little boat. I'd have thought you'd need to be doing something pretty silly to capsize her. That said the Hunter has an intelligently thought out interior for 22'. Bit tight in the v-berth for two but it would appear to be more comfortable overall than the RL24. Its also a solid looking craftfrom the pics. I'd think you need opinions of Hunter 22 owners before you decide. Have you seen this ? Hunter 22 Sailboat Network There was also an Australian forum that was pretty much all trailer sailers but link appears dead. Group was called "Australian Yachting" but was only small trailerable and/or lifting keel. Maybe the RL24 association might be able to help.Links on the RL page.
