Foxhound 24

Does anyone have experience on or knowledge of the Foxhound 24

It wouldn't be the foxhound at Nationwide Boat Sales would it?

I ask the same question last month, but not much information came back.

Yes, I too have drawn a blank on details. Pity, nice boat but no lineage!

The foxhound was one in a series of boats( Foxcub 18, Fox Terrier 22 & Foxhound 24 Also the Harrier 18 ?) designed by Uffa Fox.

I think most were built by Copland Boats on the Isle of Wight.

My only experience was on a Fox Terrier owned by a friend. My first experiences of cruising & the reason I first sought RYA Qualifications.

This was a superb little boat which performed like a round the cans racer but couls survive a serious blow. We used to sail cross channel, from Christchurch to Cherbourg & Alderney & once sailed from Plymouth to Roscoff, along th coast to Camaret, & returned via the Channel Islands to Christchurch.

Happy memories.

I thought they were built by Fox's in Ipswich many years ago - before they moved to their present site - must be at least 20 years ago.

You may be right about the Foxhound. I know that Copland built the Fox Terrier but went out of business some years ago.

I looked at one of these several years back, they reputably had reasonable sailing performance and a fair reputation as a "club racer". I was told they had varied interiors as many were home finished, the one I saw seemed to bear this out.
