The Luders 24 is an iconic expression of mid-century naval architecture, designed by the father-and-son team of A.E. Luders Sr. and A.E. "Bill" Luders Jr. of the Luders Marine Construction Company. Developed in the mid-1940s, the design was a direct application of "hot-molding" 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, high-strength airborne lifeboats for the U.S. Navy. The Luders 24, often referred to as the L-24, features a striking profile characterized by a narrow "needle" hull, long overhangs, and a 38-foot overall length on a 24-foot waterline. Despite its length, the boat's beam is a mere 6 feet 3 inches, making it an aesthetic relative of the International 6-Metre class and a significant departure from the "chunky" junior racers of the era.
