The Q24 Fleet

Q24 Page 4

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.

  2. Happy spring. My ’87 Dyer Quickstep 24 is for sale and sits on the hard in Boston. She is a rare diesel version with only 88 hours since rebuild at Mack Boring. She has new rigging, new Harken fuller and a new genoa. She is awl gripped green with new cushions inside and out covered with Sunbrella.
    I have restored her interior and the exterior brightwork. She can be viewed at http://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/47341 Best, David

  3. Hi folks,
    I am looking for a 24 in the New England area.
    There are some around but I would need to second mortgage the homestead….

  4. Hi Richard. You are correct in your thinking. I was just offering to put any two parties in touch with each other outside the blog. If both emailed me at the Quickstep21@gmail.com address, I could make sure they received each other’s email addresses off line. The gmail address comes directly to me and messages sent through it do not appear here. As a general practice, I try to avoid posting personal addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses. In the Fleet Register, for instance, I post names and locations but that’s all.
    Cheers,
    Bill

  5. Brent,
    Boat has been under wraps since it was pulled last fall. I took several photos at that time and would be happy to share them with you if you’d provide your e-mail address.

    1. Guys,
      If you do not want to post your email addresses, let me know at the quickstep21@ gmail.com address and I will forward your messages privately. Then you will have each other’s contact info without posting it to the entire blogosphere.

      Bill

      1. Hi Richard, Sorry about your illness, but wanted to check if your boat is still for sale, and if there are pictures online somewhere.

      2. Sorry to hear about your Health.
        If it is still available and u have some photos I would love to see them.
        Thank you so much,
        Larry

    1. The last numbers are the year of birth. The first letters are the builder. Q24’s were built by several builders. See the following website to understand HIN numbers http://www.hinsearchplus.com/hs_userguide.aspx
      See this website for list of builders. http://uscgboating.org/content/manufacturers-identification.php
      Quickstep 24’s were built by several builders mostly Dyer, C.E. Ryder, and a few by Shannon and the last ones by Quickstep which was really a builder name given for boats built by TPI (tillotson pearson) who is the builder of Jboats and many others. No longer building boats however they moved on to higher tech stuff.
      So given this and the websites above you can find Dyer which is really the Anchorage has a builder code of DYE. Odd but true.
      C.E. Ryder has a builder code of CER
      Shannon has a builder code of NHN…long story basically someone already had SBC in 1975.
      Lastly LNUKS builder code is Quickstep Yachts.
      If you need any other help let me know at slip134@myway.com

    1. We own 2 Q24’s … truly great design & fun sailing boats! One is a bit of a project but well worth the effort to restore! Just getting started & looking forward to getting her back on the water. Let me know if your interested!

      1. Thanks, Bill. I’m still a bit confused over the proper protocol. I presumed if two parties were having discussion relative to a potential transaction, it would be best to have this done “off line” since it would be of no interest to anyone else. That being said, I have no problem having my e-mail address posted.

        Regards,

        Richard
