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.



No wonder RB hates this boat!!!!!!



DESIGNED FOR SAILING!!!!

NOT A DOCKSIDE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER!!!!!

This is great!



Amen!



Don't forget PRICEY!!!!!!!

PRICEY!!!!!!!

Mr. C--did you ever take a close look at a Bristol Channel Cutter,
specifically the ones produced by Sam L. Morse Boat Company? Lyle Hess
design (a slightly shorter version of Lin and Larry Pardey's Taliesin),
built to go anywhere, and a great sailor for its 28' LOD. They don't come
up for sale often, but are worth the expense (also pricey) if you can find
one.

I'm familiar with Bristol Pilot Cutters:
