2.4m

2.4m

The 2.4 Metre originated from Stockholm 1983 by local yacht designers who used the "R Metre" rule to create a single-handed keelboat, 2.4mR. The helm sits down in the boat facing forward with all the controls within arms reach, the sailing is not physically demanding and racing is done in one open class with men, women, young and old, abled and disabled sailors racing together.
