Bente 24
The Bente 24 started as a “crackpot idea to develop a reasonably priced, innovative and modern 24 foot sailboat.” Ten months later, the hull was joined to the deck. Simplicity is its theme, with a stowable galley and sink, and beanbag chairs that can be moved into the cockpit. Designer Alexander Vrolijk “designed the interior on a calculator.” LOA 24’9”; Beam 9’; Draft 5’ (standard) 6’ (performance); Displ. 3,000 lbs.; Sail area 474 sq. ft., www.bente24.com. Price: $33,000
