Background
The V-24 was designed by Ocke Mannerfelt in 1998. The aim was to design a safe offshore racing boat. To be able to control the quality especially concerning safety and also to increase the competition a One Design Class sanctioned by the UIM was introduced. Since the first race was held in Sweden with 4 boats back in 1998 the class has grown considerably and to this day a total of 26 boats have been built in Norway, USA and England.  Among these, seven boats are competing in England and seven in the USA. Several more are also under construction which will give the coming season an even greater start field.

The OMD V-24 representative
Although ocke mannerfelt design is the designer of the V-24 and still support the V-24 One Design Class the actual racing is managed by our representative in England responsible for the racing.
