North Beach 24

[winch2]

Currently looking at a couple of these little Dutch lifting keel cutters but cannot find any owners info on them at all.

No owners club that I can find or any utterances anywhere about them at all. Having said all that there does seem to be quite a gathering of them in Holland if YT is anything to go by.

If anyone has any info/pointers etc we'd be most grateful.

Thanks all.

David Harding was very complimentary about the North Beach 24 in his PBO boat test (August 2001 edition)

Thanks both very much.
Cant find the DH article anywhere which I would really like to take a look at, and yes thanks for the spec info very useful. It would be good tho to hear from owners regarding any problems they may have.
Ive finally figured out the translation app and now scouring the Dutch sites for info....bit of a slog but one must persevere!

I recall the interest in these boats when they were new, but I think only one or two were sold in the UK so doubt you will have much luck finding any owners or information here.

I've scanned in David Harding's report from 2001.

Thanks so much for digging that out...really useful indeed.
