The V24 brings all the benefits of
one design racing to powerboating. This superbly designed,
powerful boat is available complete with totally standard
equipment and consequently low maintenance costs.
In one design racing, no alterations are
allowed to be made, making the racing fair and close but more
importantly everyone will have the potential to win. The results
will depend on the skill and determination of the driver and
co-driver and not on their budget.
For the first time you can buy a stunning
looking boat and go racing with no hidden costs.
The V24 is the only one design raceboat that already meets
the stringent UIM Safety regulations coming into force in
2005.
Probably the single most important safety
in the design of the V24 is the inclusion of a canopy with
12mm thick polycarbonate windows. The cockpit is formed as
a separate GRP part for added strength. The crew sit side
by side with 6 point safety harnesses, one large gull-wing
door for each person and a scuba-type air supply for racing.

The V24 uses a standard production Volvo Penta 5.7GXi engine
delivering 320hp with DPS drive and Duoprop propellers.
Everything on this boat is standard
thus removing the amount of time, effort and cost involved
in preparing often unreliable, high performace race engines.
The ride is so good that the V24 has
actually encouraged race-drivers with bad backs to come racing
again! The unique design of the hull and 'wings' on the boat,
coupled with the fact that the props remain very low in the
water give a much smoother ride than many other monohulls.
The constant forward momentum of the V24 vastly reduces the
jarring feel of many monohulls.
