Bridges Point 24 - History
� � � The Bridges Point 24 was designed by Joel White in 1984 for Wade Dow. Wade was looking for a fiberglass daysailer he could put into production to fill the off-season when he wasnâ��t lobstering. Joel said it should be something beautiful to compete with the mass-produced boats then being built.
Ã? Ã? Ã? A few years later the plans were drawn, and soon the first BP24 was shown at the Newport Boat Trials. Wade is not a sailor, but when four 24-footers were sent out with their factory crews, Wade and a friend of his were the crew. Wade recalls that day: ââ?¬Å?We passed them all, all those professional sailors in their red pants and white shoes. It was entirely the boatââ?¬â?¢s faultââ?¬â??we sure had nothing to do with it. It was one of those special moments in my life Iââ?¬â?¢ll never forget.ââ?¬ï¿½
Ã? Ã? Ã? Over the next 25 years, 80 Bridges Point 24's were built at the Bridges Point Boatyard in Brooklin by Wade, his son Forrest, and two other builders.Ã?Â
