The Leisure 24 described below was designed by Simon Cory and built by the Cory yard in Kent. Balanced modern rig design, high technology twin keels, and a long waterline length contribute to a sea kindly design that will look after the crew, and is fast on and off the wind. As far as the Leisure Owners Association is aware only one prototype yacht was ever built

Shallow draft and good sailing ability enables quieter rivers and creeks
to be explored, and use of anchorage's and berths that other yachts of this
overall size cannot reach.
The one piece moulded hull is built in GRP with moulded twin keels (fin
also available). The deck has a moulded non slip finish, with timber stiffening
under the fittings. The yacht normally has a white hull and deck, with a
dark blue water line. A Lombardini 8hp diesel engine with shaft drive is
standard with a 15 gallon fuel tank. Hand and electric bilge pumps are fitted.
On deck the cockpit is safe and comfortable. For example coach roof grab
rails and deck jacklines are standard. The mast and boom are silver anodised,
rigging is in stainless steel. Halyards and reefing lines are led aft which
means that sail handling can be safely carried out without leaving the cockpit.
Roller furling on the foresail is standard. Slab reefing is fitted to the
mainsail.
Down below the fore cabin has two single berths. The main cabin has a double
berth aft, and the dinette table can also be lowered to provide a further
double berth. A sea toilet is standard as is a wash basin and fresh water
supply. The galley has a stainless steel sink and a gas hob grill. All internal
woodwork is finished in oak, and varnished.
A VHF radio, log and echo sounder are all fitted as standard.
