This proven design by William C. Lapworth and the quality fiberglass construction of Continental Plastics Corporation are masterfully blended to give you a winner in the Gladiator 24. Whether you intend to daysail (there is an extra large cockpit); race (she is winning trophies on both coasts) or cruise (the same hull went to Hawaii in 15 days) this seakindly yacht will give you and your family a lifetime of maintenance free fun afloat. Even if you do not intend to race; remember, these same winning qualities are the qualities that make a boat safe, seaworthy and responsive.
Her capabilities and possibilities of use are far beyond other boats in her size and price range because of the high ballast to total displacement ratio, which makes her stiff, dry, and seaworthy regardless of weather. Her flush deck design results in amazing space below for her footage and an unclluttered deck for sunbathing or sail handling. The interior is custom designed with the first mate in mind.
The Gladiator was designed by one of the world's finest Naval Architects. We use the finest materials available and take the time that is necessary to build your boat right, assuring quality in every detail. The result is a yacht you'll will be as proud to own, as we are to build.
