24 ft Barge/Shop

A 24 ft design from Jay Benford's catalog. One of the small ships, the power range that runs from harbour launches up to freighter yachts.

Benford publishes a displacement of 7,680 lb in coastal cruising trim, which is tanks full with the crew and their stores aboard rather than a shipping weight. Plans are sold to owner-builders, and study plans are sold separately for anyone wanting to look before committing.
