About the DIVA 24 DC
LOD: 7.26 m / 23.82 ft Displacement listed as between 1,000 - 1,300kg / 2,205 - 2,866 lbs, depending on equipment. Also available with optional outboard, 6hp.
The Diva 24 DC is a compact fractional sloop designed by Bernt Lindquist and built by Fabola Yachts (SWE) starting in 2012. With a displacement of 2205.0 lb and a beam of 8.33 ft, this vessel represents a lightweight, performance-oriented entry into the 24-foot class.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, trailerable package with good upwind performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2205.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.56, the Diva 24 DC is not designed for serious offshore bluewater passage making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteh First 23.7 and the J/24, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs and target the same performance-focused coastal market.
