The Snapdragon 24 is a 24.5ft masthead sloop designed by Thames Structural Plastics/Thames Marine and built in fiberglass by Thames Marine (UK) since 1962.
The Snapdragon 24 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
