I emailed a couple of times but did not receive a response. The posting has now been deleted. The 24' is indeed rare. Thanks for posting this originally.

Maybe the person will find this forum. I'd be interested in hearing more about the boat.

Yep! With only 17 of them made between 1982 & 1985, I suspect it could be difficult to locate one!
To be perfectly honest... I'd really consider going from my CD28 sloop to a CD24 trawler.
Heck! I could even build a ramp to get my Harley on & off... :)

My wife and I have CD 24 Trawler hull 007 built in 1984. We purchased her in the Chesapeake area in 2003 (I think). It's a great boat.

Very handsome CD24 Trawler :!: Fit and finish look better than new.

Thanks. We put some work into her, but happily she had good DNA to start with.

Was planning on a CD 36 Cutter originally but fell in love with the 24T at first sight. Cried my eyes out when I sold her, but I was able to move up to the CD 33 Sloop that I have today.

Beautiful! Is she still in Rhode Island? I don't know of any others in the state (I'm in Wickford).

Joe,

Sadly no, buyer took her back to the Cape where she was when I bought her. We kept in touch for a while, I may look for the P&S in my records, maybe try to track him down again see how he and the boat are doing.

Thanks, Mike. Maybe we'll see you at the Narragansett Bay Float-in.
