The MacGregor 24 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard type keel. It displaces 2,100 lb (953 kg) and carries 575 lb (261 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.19 kn (11.46 km/h).[3][5]
