  1. Hello: I just picked up a Scout. Why I’m not sure though it compliments my 24 nicely. I’m hoping someone can answer a couple of questions. There’s a small sump midship that has an expanding plug in it. Does the boat drain with the plug out while underway…or just take water on rapidly? Secondly my Scout us missing wth small wooden cross member that rests on the center board trunk. I’ve looked for pictures but none clearly show this arrangement its attachment or its purpose. Just a nice teak touch or more? If you have time and have pictures would you send them to clamsteam@gmail.com. I’ll probably have follow on questions but this will get me started. Thanks! Chris.

  2. Hi. Wondering if there might be any used furling jibs (preferably 97% or as close to…) out there for a Q24?

    1. I have a used furling jib which should work for you. My boat was built in 1988 and purchased by me about 12 years ago. I used this jib for a couple of years and then bought a 120% jib from Quantum because we have a lot of light winds. However, I live in Colorado in the winter, and the jib is in our summer home in Massachusetts, where we will return in early June. If you want it and can wait, please let me know. – Michael
