 US RL24 Differences |  Hi all, I took a few pictures of an US RL that someone gave me here in Virginia. This site is such a great resource I figured they would be a help to others. I know there are differences and the following picks are what i think the major differences are. Please ignore the filth, just got it home and have some (lots) of cleaning to do.
Here's the top of our bow:

| Re: US RL24 Differences |  Not sure about this, do y'all have a "walk way" in front of your centerboard case? Taken through the front hatch from the outside.

| Re: US RL24 Differences |  Hull to deck joint looks like it was put together with resin. The lump of adhesive was holding a now missing rub rail trim.

| Re: US RL24 Differences | That's odd. I have an RL 24 supposedly made in the US and there are lots of differences. My anchor well has no profile and looks a lot like the ones built in Australia. Also I only have two sets of u bolts for the shrouds. There are no chain plates. My mast is a beast and off an Aquarius 23 so I am looking at a Hobie 16 mast online. I am in Saskatchewan Canada so have limited options available for upgrades.

| Re: US RL24 Differences | In the thread above this one Rick posted a picture of his US boat, and it looks like the one you describe. I think his also only had the u-bolt chainplates. We're some sold as kits I wonder? My mast is a beast as well, 26ft untapered 3x4 kenyan. I'll post exact measurements next week along with some pics.
