For those who would like to experience V24
racing without actually owning a boat, there are several RYA
Basic races for V24s this season. You will still have to pass
your Dunk test (contact Andark Diving on 01489 581755 or visit
www.andark.com
for more details) but this gives an opportunity to race as
a navigator using an RYA Day Licence. These races are also
a superb chance to get more race miles under your belt without
any championship points being at stake. If you are interested
in taking part, please contact Mark Sanderson on 023 92 221133
for more details.

While its hull design and inbuilt canopy give the V24
the edge in terms of comfort and safety for racing,
it is also a great recreational sportsboat. In just
a few minutes the two gull-wing doors can be removed
and the V24 becomes the best looking pleasure boat on
the water!
