Design

The San Juan 24 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 3,200 lb (1,451 kg) and carries 1,650 lb (748 kg) of lead ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the standard keel fitted and is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 219 with a high of 231 and low of 216. It has a hull speed of 5.92 kn (10.96 km/h).[4]

gollark: I suppose that means you can get away with ones which are very rarely lossy.
gollark: Losslessness will be tested by randomly generating a lot of inputs and compressing and decompressing them, probably.
gollark: But that sounds like a few cryoapioforms in many ways.
gollark: Well, I could make the challenge be to make your own compression algorithm, with the constraints that there must be some inputs which it makes shorter and it must always be lossless.
gollark: Oh, I ignore that for ethical reasons.
