Van de Stadt 24 identification

[Guest]

I am trying to find the design no/model for my Van De Stadt 24. Any info on clubs/web sites that may help. I have contacted Van De Stadt design but the are having trouble and have no brochures etc left for older models. Thanks.

Is it wood,hard chine and deep fin keel? Then it probably is a Yachting World Buchaneer.Hope this is of some use.

We used to have a VDS Primaat. Perhaps that's what you're looking for. About 23'9", draft about 4'6" I think. Plywood. Hard chine. Iron Fin keel. Spade rudder. Lovely boat! Sloop rig.

It was our (my wife and me) first keel boat and we had some great cruising in her. We still see the odd one around Aussie, and remember the good times.

Hope this helps Gus
