I do know the SJ24 is a bit tender which may be relavant to the family appeal. I myself loved the action of the Hobie Cat Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:04:26 GMT Matt McCarroll http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SJ-24/message/16218 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SJ-24/message/16218 I agree. The sj-24 is a cool boat and I have had some great times sailing it, I would not describe it at all as any sort of family boat.

Being one of the more active forum Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:25:20 GMT Michael Thomas http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SJ-24/message/16213 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SJ-24/message/16213 Just an opinion here, but I think the SJ24 is excellent because it can do double duty as both a racer and a cruiser.

Archimedes is credited with first stating the principle that a floating body will displace exactly the same weight of water Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:43:13 GMT Rick Rowan http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SJ-24/message/16209 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SJ-24/message/16209 You are correct except if the body sinks.
