Production
Production of the boat was commenced in 1964 by Tanzer Industries of Dorion, Quebec. The company entered bankruptcy in May 1986 and production had ended by then.[1][3]
Hughes Boat Works of Canada later produced a derivative design, the Hughes 24.[1]
Design
The Nutmeg 24 is based on the earlier Oriental Mercy design of 1955 and also the Shaw 24, both wooden boats.[1]
The Nutmeg 24 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally mounted rudder. It displaces 3,800 lb (1,724 kg) and carries 1,475 lb (669 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a long keel, with a retractable centreboard, that gives a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the board down and 2.75 ft (0.84 m) with it retracted.[1][2]
The boat has a hull speed of 5.76 kn (10.67 km/h).[2]
