Small, expensive, and proven salty enough to cross oceans, this hip-pocket
cruiser is best suited to couples who want a getaway vehicle that's easy to
sail and laid out correctly down below.
LOA 27' 3
LWL 21' 5
Beam 8' 7
Draft 3' 10
Displacement 8,000 lbs.
Ballast 3,200 lbs.
Sail Area 358 sq. ft.

Now back on the production line at Pacific Seacraft after a three-year
hiatus, the Dana 24 is a pricey, seaworthy, two-person cruiser. She will
satisfy the criteria of a couple interested in owning a
moderate-displacement boat designed to sail in tough conditions. Though
comfortable, her layout is seagoing-she's not a dockside entertainment
center.

I'd be looking at a Dana if they weren't cult boats. I love the Dana
but it's just too high of a price for a 24'.
The PS 27 Orion is a good boat too but they are less money than the
Dana because they didn't become cult boats.
