The Terrapin 24 is a fractional sloop rigged recreational keellboat built in the United States from 1973 to 1980, with 60 boats completed.
The fiberglass hull has an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a steel lifting keel. It displaces 2,050 lb (930 kg) and carries 100 lb (45 kg) of ballast.[1][2] It has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the keel extended and 9 in (23 cm) with it retracted.[1][2] The design has a hull speed of 6.0 kn (11.1 km/h).[2]
It has five berths. The galley is on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed head is located to the port side of the companionway ladder. The companionway uses two sliding hatches for additional light and ventilation. Cabin headroom is 60 in (152 cm).[1][2]
