There are many beautiful Q24s sailing about, so it’s only right and proper that we have a page devoted to them. So here we are! If you own a 24, you’re welcome to post. I’m happy to add pictures, too. To post a new comment, you’ll have to scroll to the very bottom of this page- all the way down. I’ve managed to change the formatting to display just the newest comments first, so scrolling down is no longer so tedious. All of the older comments are still here though. Just follow the link at the bottom of this page.
Quickstep Owners' Group 
“QUITTICUS” – after 14 years of happy sailing, I am looking to hand over the helm to someone appreciative of her qualities. She was last sailed in October 24 and is currently on the hard in my driveway. Comes with a lightly used 2020 8HP Yamaha. I would like to move boat to free up driveway space before winter sets in so I am open to any reasonable offer. If interested, please contact me at marcelandlili@yahoo.com for additional information and photos.

Considering selling my 1988 Quickstep 24, Forever Young at the end of this season. Great boat in the water and sailing in Harwichport MA. Did a major renovation 10 years ago when I bought her up in Rockland Maine including an beautiful awlgrip paint job, brightwork, Harken roller furler, removed all old head through hulls, new grap rail wires. Day sailed her from Rockland ME to Harwichport MA. Over the 10 years, I’ve replaced main and roller genoa with new Doyle sails, mainsail cover, new rigging last year, 2005 Yamaha 10 Hp with electric start has been professionally maintained yearly. Let me know,

Please let me know if this boat is still available. I gave up sailing my Niagara 35 a few years ago due to the challenges of mooring and maintenance issues, but now that I’m approaching retirement with young grandkids, I have set my sights on finding a QuickStep 24 that I can trailer sail from our summer home in Ocean Bluff MA.
Selling my 1988 Q24, “Glory Days”, HIN-LNUKS170E888. She was a Lake Winnipesaukee boat until 2019 and is currently located on the hard at Swansea and Cole River Marina, Swansea, MA awaiting the hull buffing and waxing service prior to launch. The bottom has a fresh coat of low VOC and copper free paint. (I’ve used this type of paint for several years now and it holds up well.) Launch and slip fees for 2025 have been paid.
Glory Days has a blue hull with white bottom and newer burnt umber colored Quantum Sails with a Harken MKIII 00AL Furler for the jib. I have replaced the running rigging. She has a Raymarine i40, 2008 Mercury 6hp long shaft outboard with alternator, and a 50-watt solar panel on the aft engine hatch. I added the solar charger because the alternator couldn’t charge the battery enough during short engine runs. There is a built-in compass, and I use a portable GPS unit or phone for digital navigation.
Glory Days is in good shape since she spent most of her life in freshwater and is NOT a restoration project. I’m selling because age has finally caught up to me. Send me an email (privateerjoe@gmail.com) and I will provide some photos. I have a clean MA Title and asking $9,700.

Hi, I picked up one of the Quickstep Scouts about a year ago and couldn’t find any sail / rigging specifications for it as it is a very rare boat. Would I be able to find any pictures of a manual or similar that might contain any of that information? I would love to get mine out and sailing again, she’s just missing sails, rigging and a fresh coat of paint. Thanks!
Matthew: I also picked one up last year and may be able to answer a question or two. My sails were made by Thurston Sails. Now called Thurston Quantum in Bristol RI. I presume they were the OEM supplier. 401-2540970 is their number. Rigging is quite basic. I could send you a picture of my Scout rigged more or less. 2 halyards, 1 mainsheet, 1 jibsheet, 1 downhaul, 1 little bit for mainsail traveller is about it. I used 1/4 and 5/16 yacht braid in my upgrade. All blocks are Harken, cleats too. The pics are from the day I brought the boat home and some rigging was then cheesy and incomplete. I dont have current pics as the boat is still under a tarp. I will say from my limited experience that I and some sailing friends had fun taking turns messing around in it last fall. One didn’t want to get off…I know i can sell it to him! Pretty stable, fairly quick nice and maneuverable.
Forgot to mention. Scout was designed by Harry Sindle from a town over from me here on Jersey Shore. Check him out on Wiki. No slouch where dinghy sailing was concerned. It no wonder the Scout is fun.
