Eagle 24
Designed by Richard Woods
A 7.3 m (24 ft) open-deck trailable cruising catamaran from Richard Woods of Woods Designs, drawn for more room than Strider with an easier build. Hard-chine sheet plywood hulls are veed forward and flat aft so they stand unsupported. Beam 4.4 m, about 650 kg empty, 31.5 sq m of sail, two single berths in each hull and 1.7 m headroom. A solid cockpit floor, side-opening hatches, stock aluminium tube beams, and options for keels, a cuddy or a racing rig.
The page follows a first-time catamaran builder working inside his house. Woods gives no hours; his round-bilge Strider minimum is 550, and this is a bigger boat, so budget 800 to 1,400 as a rule of thumb. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Eagle 24 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
