The Tamarisk 24 blends classic charm with modern reliability. They are a gaff-rigged cruiser inspired by traditional working boats but built in durable GRP. With her long keel, shallow draft, and sea-kindly performance, she’s ideal for coastal cruising and estuary exploration. Marie of Itchenor has been lovingly looked after and maintained in her current ownership of 15 years. She boasts a Beta 14hp marine diesel engine fitted new in 2018. A truly charming boat.
