The Quickstep 24 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Edward S. Brewer as a cruiser and first built in 1976.

The design was initially built by Stannard Boat Works in Rhode Island, United States. After 23 boats were completed the molds were purchased by Bill Lannigan, the marketing director for C. E. Ryder and that company built a number of the boats. Lannigan then left the company and had boats built by The Anchorage and Shannon Yachts. Construction of the design then passed to Quickstep Sailboats. Production ran from 1976 until 1989 with 200 boats completed.

The Quickstep 24 is a recreational keelboat, that was designed to be built with an aluminum hull, but all production boats were built of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a rounded transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) and carries 1,900 lb (862 kg) of cast lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of 3.37 ft (1.03 m) with the standard keel.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 6 hp (3 to 4 kW) outboard motor mounted in a stern well, for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for either two or four people, depending on version. Early production boats had just a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and a main cabin seat with the head located underneath it. On these early configuration boats the galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder and is equipped with a single-burner stove, a built-in icebox and a sink. Later boats added two main cabin quarter berths, at the expense of the gallery space and moved the head under the bow "V"-berth insert. On later boats the galley is just aft of the bow cabin and has a sink on the starboard side and ice box to port. In all cases, the cabin headroom is 53 in (135 cm).

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 258 and a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h).

The boat is supported by an active class club, the Quickstep Owners Group.
