The Bandholm 24 is a definitive example of the Danish "pocket cruiser" philosophy, designed by Knud Olsen and introduced in 1971 to provide a robust, sea-going alternative to the lighter production boats of the era. Built primarily by Mariboat in Denmark, the vessel became a significant success for the yard, with approximately 659 units produced until 1984. The design is characterized by its heavy displacement and high ballast ratio, which reflect Olsen’s commitment to safety and stability in the often-challenging conditions of the Baltic and North Seas. While compact in length, the Bandholm 24 was marketed with the slogan "Fast, Safe, Solid," a promise that helped it secure a loyal following in Northern Europe. It was offered in several rigging configurations during its production run, including a standard masthead sloop and a more agile fractional rig, though the former remains the most common variant found on the brokerage market today.
