Designed by Alan Hill and built by Russel Marine in 1975, the Vivacity 24 is a solidly built twin-keel family cruiser, ideal for harbour and coastal cruising and for taking the ground in sheltered waters. A spacious cockpit and twin cabin interior with 5ft 9in headroom in the saloon and 4-5 berths in total. A cut-out in the transom provides easier access from pontoons and on the hard for access. This yacht has an 8HP inboard Yanmar diesel engine. In 2014 the engine was removed and rebuild by a Yanmar Agent before re-installing on new engine mounts. This yacht has a full furling genoa and shortened foot main sail, with control lines running aft to the cockpit for ease of short-handed or solo sailing.
