Designed in 1959 by George Hinterhoeller, the Shark 24 is one of the most significant designs in the history of North American fiberglass boatbuilding. Originally carved from a block of frozen pine in a shed in NiagaraontheLake, Ontario, the Shark was the catalyst for the formation of Hinterhoeller Ltd., which later became a founding pillar of the legendary C&C Yachts. This 24foot racercruiser was revolutionary for its time, utilizing a lightdisplacement philosophy and a sleek, narrow beam that allowed it to plane in heavy air—a feat nearly unheard of for a production keelboat in the late 1950s. Over 2,000 units were produced between 1960 and the late 1990s, built primarily by Hinterhoeller in Canada and under license by Wigo and Korneuburg in Austria, where it remains a dominant force in Lake Constance and Alpine racing.
