Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

TrailerableBeam 2.40 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,200 kg of hull, so roughly 1,800 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.

What the fleet has seen

The Saffier Yachts SE 24, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Saffier Yachts Se 24 is an 8.0-meter fractional sloop day sailer, built by Saffier Yachts since 2023, designed by Dean Hennevanger. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, a 2.4-meter beam, and a 1.3-meter draft, displacing 1200 kg. The boat is offered with shallow and deep keel options and various sail configurations, including a self-tacking jib, Code 0, and gennaker. A 3 kW Torqeedo electric motor provides propulsion, offering a top speed of 6 knots and a range of 7 to 8 nautical miles at full throttle, with integrated solar panels extending range at lower speeds.20:01 Aboard SEILmagasinet, the Saffier SC24 Lite is noted for its carbon deck and sandwich hull construction, lacking a backstay, which simplifies rigging but requires reliance on the mainsail sheet for forestay tension.18:29 The cockpit prioritizes ergonomics, with halyard winches on the coachroof.18:56 Its interior, while theoretically accommodating four, has minimal headroom and low freeboard, making it suitable primarily for day sailing.20:32
