The Luders 24 is an iconic expression of midcentury naval architecture, designed by the fatherandson team of A.E. Luders Sr. and A.E. "Bill" Luders Jr. of the Luders Marine Construction Company. Developed in the mid1940s, the design was a direct application of "hotmolding" technology—a process involving mahogany veneers and resorcinol glue cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave. This technique was pioneered by the yard during World War II to produce lightweight, highstrength airborne lifeboats for the U.S. Navy. The Luders 24, often referred to as the L24, features a striking profile characterized by a narrow "needle" hull, long overhangs, and a 38foot overall length on a 24foot waterline. Despite its length, the boat's beam is a mere 6 feet 3 inches, making it an aesthetic relative of the International 6Metre class and a significant departure from the "chunky" junior racers of the era.
