ABOUT THE 2.4mR
The 2.4mR is a one-person keelboat that offers even the most accomplished competitive sailors a unique opportunity to test their sailing skills. As complex and challenging as an Etchells or a Dragon without the high maintenance costs or the need for crew, it can be used as a platform to further develop team and fleet racing.
