Shark 24 class yacht

Shark 24 class yacht

The Shark 24 is a Canadian-built 24 ft sailing yacht which has earned itself a reputation of extraordinary reliability and longevity among sailors both in North America and Central Europe. Having been designed by George Hinterhoeller back in 1959 to cope well even with the harshest conditions found in the Great Lakes region, the vessel has proven to be well suited for extended leisure trips as well as for tough racing.

Because the Shark has not lost any of its popularity over the decades and that there is a large international racing community carrying out countless regattas ever year the Shark has recently been awarded the title "Classic Yacht" by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
