Nimble 24

The Nimble 24 is a member of a warm family of cruising boats. She is somewhat larger than her sister ship, the Nimble 20, and a bit smaller than the Atlantic crossing Nimble 30. Designed by Ted Brewer, the Nimble 24 is not simply another plastic boat. Instead, it was designed to enhance the lifestyle of those who not only recognize quality, but require a boat built to a high standard that is competitively priced. It is a boat that one will not meet around every corner and certainly not at every dock. It is also a boat that can be trailered with the average American automobile. The Nimble 24 is designed to sleep four in two separate and distinct cabins, and still provide a private, enclosed head. She features a built-in bookcase, cassette rack, and drink holders in the cockpit. The cockpit is self-bailing and has two decent size lockers; moreover, the centerboard and main traveler are controlled from the cockpit. Three versions of the Nimble 24 are available: Tropical, Offshore, and 24 "D." The Nimble 24 was replaced by the Nimble Kodiak in 1993.
