The Vivacity 24 stands as the sophisticated evolution of Russell Marine Ltd.’s small-cruiser philosophy, representing a transition from the "pocket cruiser" dimensions of the 19-foot Alacrity to a more substantial, family-oriented coastal vessel. Launched in the early 1970s and designed by the esteemed naval architect Alan Hill, the Vivacity 24 was engineered to maximize interior volume and stability within a compact footprint. While its predecessors, the Vivacity 20 and 21 (also known as the 650), focused on entry-level utility, the 24-foot model introduced a level of refinement and "big boat" features—such as a dedicated head compartment and improved headroom—that made extended coastal cruising a reality for the budget-conscious sailor. Built with the robust, heavy-layup glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) characteristic of the era, the boat was offered in both fin keel and twin (bilge) keel configurations, catering to the British and European markets where drying moorings are prevalent.
