After looking at many, many pocket cruisers, examining my needs once again and listening to some rock solid advice given here, I've decided the best cruiser for me is the Dana 24: http://www.pacificseacraft.com/dana24.htm I've got a number of questions and hopefully some of you can help me out. I plan to buy a new one so I can get exactly what I want. What are the advatanges and disadvantages of the cutter rig? Is it smart to use roller furlings for both sails? What is typical water usage per person per day? Will the extra water tank option change the balance of the boat? Can I convert the water tank into a diesel tank? Does anyone here own one? Thanks in advance for all your knowledgeable help! Steve Dooley So I wonder why you wasted our collective time seeking advice for a boat in the 16-19' range? |

While the Dana is a great boat, certainly on the short list of 24 foot passage makers, it is also 6000 pounds and can only marginally be considered trailerable. "Transportable" is probably a better term. There are a number of other boats in this range to consider, such as the Nor'sea 27. |

Same person who also posts as "Lloyd Bonifide". Both are imaginary characters taken from the Phil Hendrie Radio Show. CWM And we all know who listens or listened to the Phol Hendrie Show... |
