J/24 or Wavelength 24

• Add to quote

Hi, I currently own half of a Pearson 30 and would like to own the whole of another boat. I'm looking for a smaller boat that is more responsive and exciting and has the added benefit of being trailerable. At first I was focused on buying a J/24, and may still, but while searching these forums and others I discovered the Wavelength 24 and am intrigued. There is nearly every bit of information available about the J/24 but the Wavelength not so much. I plan to day sail and race phrf on Lake Erie. Any info, comments or insight about the Wavelength 24 will be much appreciated. Thanks.  

How about a FSC-24 ??!! canting keel, made in carbon, carbon mast & boom, do I need to say more? If you need more information email me : info @ global-sailing-adventures.com Grtz Patrick

Sailingdog, thanks for the reply and the other options. I guess my meaning for trailerable is more in line with being able to easily move it around the boat yard or to drive it to storage for winter maintenance, etc. Also, a trailer widens my search area for a boat since I can hitch it to the pickup and drive it home in lieu of paying for shipping. I would certainly be using a travel lift to launch the boat. I'm more into a monohull then a tri or cat, mainly just so I can club race with the occasional regatta thrown in within a few hours up and down the coast.  

I think that there is a tendancy to equate trailorability with ramp launchable. Boats like the J-24 and Wavelength are easily trailerable. They are not easily ramp launchable without specialized equipment. That said, in most areas where there are one design keel boat fleets, there are 2 to 4 ton cranes made to bridle launch boats like these. Its a fast and safe procedure. There is often dry storage facilities available for trailer stored boats in areas where small keel boats are raced and this is generally quite and inexpensive way to keep a boat as well. The Wavelength 24 is a nice little boat. It is slightly faster and more forgiving than the J-24. There are some one design fleets of Wavelengths but I suspect they are pretty scarce. The Wavelength has done pretty well under PHRF. They were built by Schock and the build quality is a little cruder than the J-24. Another great little boat in that general size range is the Tripp 26. These are considerably higher performance boats than either the J-24 or Wavelength but they also sell for a higher price as well. Another bridle launchable trailerable PHRF racer with a bit more accomodations is the Laser 28. I had one of these for nearly 14 years and I really loved the boats. They were very well built and remarkably tough little boats. Another good PHRF racer choice would be the S-2 7.9. These were potent little MORC boats. Again build quality was not all that great but many of these have been thoroughly upgraded over the years. Jeff  

Wow. Here are my two cents. All of the boats that Jeff H is referencing sail in our local Fleet. Wavelength 24(which is for sale since owner bought J29) J24's S-27.9 and a tripp 26... All of these boats are trailerable. The 24 can be set up with center point Hitch and a boom crane and take them in/out in about 5 minutes. The Tripp 26 is the fastest of the boats listed here and is really a performance machine. It is sleek as well. If you want some info about a Wavelenth 24 for sale in Duluth, MN PM me. Km2x  

Down here on tampa bay we have a fleet of sr maxes, super fast and trailer freindly. the other boat that comes to mind if you don't care about one-design is the wylie wabbit. when I lived in Charleston S.C. there were a couple of these and in certain conditions they would burn the boot stripes off of just about anything. I have seen these pretty reasonably priced less than 5000.00. but I think the glen henderson sr max might fit the bill perfectly though.  

Here's the website www.srmaxclass.org/  

Hey I forgot to Mention U20 can even launch it off the trailer.... km2x  

Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions, they will make for some good research. I'm heading off to see a few wavelength 24's in a couple days but it's good to know there are other options. km2x, I'm unable to pm due to my post count, would you mind sending me the info on the wavelength in Duluth? Thanks.  

I know you said PHRF racing...but if there is a sizeable one design fleet of either model near you, OD racing can be a lot more satisfying than PHRF, since it removes the question of which boat is or isn't fairly rated or is a rule-beater. And there are often J/24 fleets all over the place. But if you are intent on PHRF racing, I guess the question is, which boat most often beats the ratings in your area?<G>  

You have to check out the Melges 24 , can't believe no-one has mentioned it. Truely trailerable and a PHRF of 87..... 'nough said.  

for comparision here are the PHRF ratings (your local rules may vary, these are ballpark): J24 - 171 Wavelength 24 - 159 Tripp 26 - 111 Melges 24 - 87  

Tenuki- I don't believe the Melges 24 has a cuddy cabin of any sort, which makes it unsuitable for overnighting... The J/24, S2-7.9, Tripp 26, and Wavelength 26 all have a small cuddy cabin at least. I believe, from reading his post... he wants a responsive boat, but one that he could still overnight in if necessary.  

I plan to day sail and race phrf on Lake Erie. Click to expand...

There are so many options... I own a Merti 25, and I use a ramp to put her in the water. At first I was looking at Js but I found this boats, the cabin are way more comfortable, a massive V berth, way way more comfortable cockpit. Regarding raceability, are faster than J/24 (most palces rates PHRF equal) but at least in Valle de Bravo Mexico, where I sail, I often beat them. well.com/user/pk/M25history.html There's one more beuty about Merits, they cost less than a J/24 race rigged. I can send you pictures if you like  

A melge 24 would be the best boat for quck sailing, fleet 1D racing too. Trailerable, you can hoist them off with a small hoist ofrom a dry storage, like availible at some marina's in puget sound. A larger fleet is at Shilshole stored that way. Granted a cabin, probably sleepable if one really had too. You might also look at a colgate 26, is the size? Lots to choose from in that size. It all comes down to how day sailerish you want it to be vs a weekender possibilty. Marty  

Hey guys, I went with the Wavelength. It's just such a cool boat in person I was sold. Luckily the survey was the best I've ever seen and the price was right. Here's to my new sailboat!  

awesome! post pics.  

I am thinking about purchasing a Wavelength 24. TheMo, are you still happy with your boat?  

It's funny you ask. I sold it at the end of this season. Whether I liked it had little to do with the sale. In fact, I liked it alot. The problem was I lacked time and experienced crew for this boat. All in all, for a boat in it's class a Wavelength 24 is awesome. If you haven't yet, check out the yahoo group: HTML: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wavelength24/

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

In 2005, the WAVELENGTH 24 was brought back into production.

Today, many builders use LOA to include rail overhangs, bowsprits, etc. and LOD (length on deck) for hull length. That said, LOA may still mean LOD if the builder is being honest and using accepted industry standards developed by groups like the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council).
