The Seaforth 24 is a traditionally styled, heavy-displacement pocket cruiser that represents a significant chapter in the early history of American fiberglass boatbuilding. Designed by naval architect Stephen Seaton, the vessel was initially produced by Capson Marine in 1977 before becoming one of the founding models for Precision Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida. Unlike the later, more performance-oriented designs commissioned from Jim Taylor, the Seaforth 24 was conceived as a "maxi trailerable" cruiser with a focus on sea-kindliness, stability, and a classic double-ender aesthetic. While it is occasionally referred to as the Precision 24 in secondary circles, the model is distinct for its full-keel configuration and robust scantlings, marking it as a sturdier alternative to the lightweight daysailers common in the 24-foot category.
