This heavily built 1980 Aquarius 24 Pilot Cutter designed by Frank Parrish is one of only 33 of the offshore cruisers built in Ft. Myers Florida from 1979 to 1984. With a waterline of 20.0′, the Aquarius 24 Pilot Cutter tops out around 6.0 knots. A capable coastal cruiser not overpowered by sail area of 410 sq. ft of canvas with displacement 8900 lb (3200 lbs encapsulated lead ballast), a ratio of 36% (typical for offshore cruisers) providing balanced stability and motion underway (a slow/steady sea kindly hull). 6'2" Headroom. Engine: 2-cylinder Volvo Penta 18 HP Diesel in good running condition, with 2 spare engines for parts. Hand-laid, solid fiberglass construction is suitably overbuilt with a hull thickness varying from 3/8” at the minimum to 5/8” at the turn of the bilge and as much as 3/4” in the keel sections. Deck and cabin house are fiberglass cored in 1/2” marine ply, and the hull to deck join is overlapping shoe box fit bedded with sealant and through bolted on 12” centers. Canoe stern and transom hung rudder. The bottom was professionally shaved, faired, filled and sealed (Imron 2000) to eliminate blisters. V-berth and pair of quarter berths. Cutter rig, roller furling jib, all lines lead to cockpit for single-handed sailing. Total of 5 tanbark sails, with main and staysail in good condition covered with brown Sunbrella. 10 Bronze opening ports, two teak hatches, stainless sink, propane stove, icebox. Enclosed head (portable toilet) with shower. Chart plotter, depth sounder, autopilot, compass, VHF radio, GPS. Ground tackle: 3 Anchors/100' chain /Snubber/300' 5/8" 3-strand nylon anchor line, manual and electric windlass. Davits in stern were installed to hang the dingy. Haul out for fresh bottom paint, refinishing hatches and general cosmetic TLC scheduled in fall at 7 Seas Marina and boatyard where currently docked. Current asking price is 12,500. Call (Please leave name and phone # in message) or e-mail any questions (ABSOLUTELY NO TEXT). If the ad is still on Craigslist the vessel is still for sale. I will show to serious inquiries, and will sea trial with deposit. If you are searching for an affordable, seaworthy "pocket" cruiser similar to other more expensive cruisers like the Westsail 28, Voyager 26, Pacific Seacraft Bristol Channel cutter and Flicka, consider the Aquarius 24 Pilor Cutter.
