Broker's Comments

The Achilles 24 is widely recognised as a proper sea-going pocket cruiser. Examples of her marque have competed in singlehanded AZAB's, OSTARS and have several ocean crossings to their credit. They are very popular in local racing fleets around the cans and give satisfying sailing for both cruising and racing owners.
Well designed and strongly built the Achilles 24 will take you and your crew anywhere that you dare to point her.
This yacht has many years of exciting and satisfying sailing left in her, keenly priced with a good engine and recent sails she should not be on the beach for long.
