Forestay Len.: 27.09' / 8.26m BUILDERS (past & present) More about & boats built by: Jeanneau DESIGNER More about & boats designed by: Philippe Harlé " Small Boat Journal Wrote "Jeanneaus Tonic 24 is one big boat. Posed next to the others in our fleet, the Tonic towers over them. To designer Philippe Harles credit, this boats appearance is distinctive rather than strange. Much as I like conventional sheerlines, Im forced to admit that had Harle attempted to wrap a 24-foot traditional design around this huge interior volume the result would have been an aesthetic Armageddon. Though dead-straight sheers only appear to be straight on paper, out on the water they take on lives of their own changing their shapes, not always in flattering ways, when viewed from different angles. In any case, the Tonics high-sided, straight-sheered design works, and the boat has a pleasant, businesslike appearance when heeled down to a breeze. The Jeanneaus cavernous interior seems even larger as you go below because the boat is open from stem (almost) to stern. There are no full bulkheads. In addition, theres more open sole space than youll find on most 28-footers. The crew can actually stroll around the main cabin, and if theyre no taller than 5 feet 8 inches, they can do it while standing erect. Everything aboard the Tonic is big. The navigation station has a sizable, full-time chart table (27 inches by 22 inches). Youd be happy to find a galley with this much counter space in a summer cottage. Plexiglas windows (not ports) wrap around three sides of the cabin house, casting plenty of light into the interior. Yes, there are seacocks fitted to the through-hulls (thank you, again). The dimensions of the enclosed head are little short of amazing. The standard French U-shaped settee with fixed, folding-leaf table is forward in the main cabin. And, as in the Beneteau, a double berth resides under the cockpit. As you might expect, the Tonics berth is larger and head-room is greater than the 235. Plus, a large port let into the transom and cutouts behind the companionway steps relieve the cave-like ambiance. If we can fault the Jeanneaus accommodations, its only for lack of adequate ventilation. You can open the companionway area and the small, 17-inch-by- 12-inch forward hatch, and thats it. Certainly, a wind scoop in the forward hatch would help while at anchor, but wed be inclined to add several cowl vents. At the very least, the galley and head should be exhausted directly to the outside. Getting around on the Tonics deck isnt quite so easy as with the other boats. A fairly wide house (all that interior room has to come from somewhere) and chainplates that pierce the already narrow sidedecks dont help. Were not saying that the Tonic is bad in this respect its just that the Schock and Beneteau are so good. Jeanneaus deck fittings are of high quality, adequate in number, and well placed. The 8-inch mooring cleats display a good, open pattern, and the anchor locker has a positive latch. The Tonics deep and inviting cockpit, although not quite up to the Beneteaus by our subjective standards, can hold its own in any league. You should be prepared to share this comfortable space with a growling stinking outboard motor mounted in a well. Simple transom mounts (not brackets) seem better in nearly every respect. The Tonic sails pleasantly. It isnt in a league with the Schock or Beneteau for sheer speed, and dragging the outboards lower unit through the water doesnt help matters. Be that as it may, this floating vacation home can maintain a most respectable cruising pace. The Tonic we sailed was fitted with a keel/centerboard that drew just 2 feet 4 inches with the board up. A standard #8 sheet winch mounted beneath the table controls the centerboard an arrangement that works quite well. Compared to the common reel winches wrapped with wire rope, the Tonics setup should prove more reliable and easier to fix if something goes wrong. If youre looking for a large 24-foot cruiser, youll go a long way before finding another boat that can match the Tonics belowdecks volume, and that carries all that room with dignity."
