24' Bridges Point 24 Customized by French & Webb Daysailers

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
