Allegra Cutter 24
Description
The Allegra 24 is an American trailerable pocket cruiser sailboat designed by Fred Bingham and Lou Nagy, first built in 1984. It's a development of the smaller Flicka 20, designed by Bruce Bingham (Fred's son), and is often described as a "beefed-up" version with enhanced performance and space. This cutter-rigged keelboat emphasizes seaworthiness for coastal and light blue water cruising, with a full keel for stability and ease of single-handing. Built primarily in fiberglass (biaxial glass/acrylic-epoxy pre-preg with PVC foam-cored decks and cabin tops), some examples were constructed in wood by Mestiza Yachts. Production was limited and decentralized, with boats offered as kits, bare hulls, or custom completions by various builders across the US (e.g., Ventura, CA; Riviera Beach, FL; Noank, CT). Total numbers are unclear but low (dozens to low hundreds), making it a rare find today.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
