Nordwest 24
Description
The Nordwest 24 is a compact fiberglass sailboat designed in the late 1970s and built by the Danish yard GEFA (likely in limited numbers, as it's quite rare with sparse production records). It's a trailerable coastal cruiser optimized for light-air performance thanks to its generous sail plan, while the shallow draft (load-dependent) allows access to skinny waters and marinas.
