Designed by renowned naval architect Joel White and built by Bridges Point Boatyard starting in 1985, this 24-footer represents classic Maine craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. With only 80 hulls produced, the Bridges Point 24 occupies a special niche among discerning sailors who appreciate traditional design executed in practical fiberglass construction. The boat's long keel configuration and substantial 1,900-pound ballast contribute to excellent stability and tracking, making it particularly well-suited for coastal cruising and short offshore passages. The fractional sloop rig provides balanced sail handling, while the moderate sail area of 278 square feet offers good performance without being overpowering for a small crew. At nearly 4,000 pounds displacement, this design prioritizes seaworthiness over speed, with a comfortable motion in choppy conditions that larger, lighter boats often lack. The generous beam of 7.75 feet creates surprising interior volume for a 24-footer, while the 3.42-foot draft allows access to thin water yet provides adequate lateral resistance. Joel White's reputation for creating seaworthy, beautifully proportioned vessels shines through in this design. The low capsize screening number and high comfort ratio indicate a boat built for safety and livability rather than racing, making it an excellent choice for sailors seeking a capable small cruiser with classic character.
