The Seahorse 24, often referred to as the Yankee 1/4 Ton, represents a distinctive chapter in the history of Yankee Yachts Inc. While the builder is frequently associated with the traditional, full-keeled Sparkman & Stephens designs, the Seahorse 24 was a departure into the competitive world of the International Offshore Rule (IOR) racing. Designed by American maritime architect Robert Finch in the early 1970s, this vessel was engineered to meet the 1/4 Ton rating, offering a more aggressive, performance-oriented alternative to the company’s famed Dolphin 24. Unlike the heavy-displacement, wood-trimmed vessels of the mid-60s, the Seahorse 24 embraced a lighter, beamier profile and a versatile centerboard configuration that allowed for both competitive coastal racing and shallow-water exploration.
