It has all the sexy appeal and performance of those boats, but in a much smaller package and without the usual six to seven figure price tag.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hull shape and general appearance are closely related to the flavor of the bigger boats, most distinctively the sheer and the flared  bow, which has been scaled to a more sophisticated proportion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 24 is a larger, but not exactly scaled up, version of the 20.  The beam has been drawn to 8′ 6″\/2.59m, which is the maximum trailerable width in many states.  The free board was also raised, but the (bottom) dead rise has been kept the same. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe picture of the finished boat here (temporarily) is of the Ocracoke 20.  At this time, as this is a very new design, there have been no 24s completed and launched.  There are several under construction, and you can follow the building of one of them on the B\u0026amp;B builders forum (see the link at the bottom of this page). As soon as we have pictures of a completed boat we will be posting them on this page.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"AutoNumber1\" border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"59%\" height=\"419\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLOA………..24′ 0″         7.32m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLWL………..19′ 7 1\/2″         5.98m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBEAM…….. 8′ 4″          2.54m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDRAFT\/ hull.. 9 1\/2″             24.13cm @ dwl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDEADRISE at transom… 13 degrees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHORSEPOWER…… 90 – 200\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBOAT WEIGHT including 150 hp motor…2000-2400#  (900-1100 kilos) depending on materials and options*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDISPLACEMENT 2400 lbs (1100 kilos) @ dwl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePounds\/Kilos Per I” \/25mm immersion 482#  (219 kilos)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*weight @ designer’s suggested materials; different plywoods plus different fiberglass weight and optional gear will change boat weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"41%\" height=\"419\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.bandbyachtdesigns.com\/Ocracoke_005-1a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"611\" height=\"463\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto at right by Wave Crest Images www.info@wavecrestimages.com\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"AutoNumber6\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe boat is cold molded plywood, built over a jig.  Most of the “jig” becomes permanent structure.  The construction employs a modified orange crate method that is both light and strong.  Note that this boat is aimed at efficiency of materials for performance, but is not a stitch and glue “introduction to building” type of boat  as built from plans which includes full size patterns for the “jig”.  This model would also be an excellent choice for the small commercial yard. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"AutoNumber7\" border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.bandbyachtdesigns.com\/Ok24%20bottom%20stringers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.bandbyachtdesigns.com\/full%20size%20templates.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"162\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eThe full size templates are shown above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are full size Mylar* templates for the hull \u003cem\u003eframing\u003c\/em\u003e  parts.  Included are: Stem and keel; temporary frames, permanent frames\/doublers; bulkheads; transom and transom arc; bottom stringers.  The frames and bulkheads and drawn with the notches located and sized for the side stringers.  Each of the parts is color coded:  Examples: bottom stringers – blue; temporary frames-green. The drawings are 1\/2 of each frame, transom etc.. When tracing your parts on the wood you will simply flip the patterns.  The use of the template patterns eliminates any need for lofting and ensures that your framework will be accurate and true.  It is also much quicker and easier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Mylar is drafting film, which while it is quite expensive, is totally stable and practically tear proof.  It is practically transparent, making it easy to orient on your plywood grain and allows for it to be used for both sides on one sheet.

All of the rest of the structure stays in the boat. The forward sheer clamp has one of its four laminations installed. There are two stringers to be installed between the intermediate sheer and forward sheer clamp to complete the hull framing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bottom is planked with a layer of 3\/8″ (9mm) and a layer of 1\/4″ (6mm)  ply with staggered seams. The sides are planked with two layers of 1\/4″ (6mm) ply. The side planking uses the Ashcroft method which means both layers run diagonally in the same direction, the seams in the two layers are staggered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe entire boat is epoxy glassed inside and out with one layer of 1208 biaxial glass cloth which makes for a very strong tough boat.
