Shark 24'

[jgraff428]

Hello I have acquired a 24' shark sailboat missing the mast, boom and rudder. Still have the sails. It has New bottom paint. It seems to be a solid little sailboat. Looking for other shark owners with info on mast boom and rigging to assist me in restoring this sailboat. Thanks Jerry

Rules & Resources

That page has a list of active clubs sailing the shark, check that out. It isn't hard cobbling together a rig out of used stuff, I've done it with an old Bandit.

Post some details and pictures of your progress!

Original post is from 2012. But there is an extensive racing community for Sharks 24. A mast should be easy to find.
Racing it....a bit harder.
This from a Sharky racer.

WOW !! -- if that's a Hinterheoller - built Shark.
Raced on one out of Midland Yacht Club on the Georgian Bay in '71.

Yes it is most probably an Hinterheoller built shark.
We have 10 of them lined up ready to race at our club.
I actually was crew on one that raced the Shark world championship. People from Canada, Usa even europe came to race.
Europeans fly in with there sails and crew and rent a boat.
They are one design class.
I teach on one.
