The Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 is widely regarded as the definitive "pocket cruiser," a vessel that defies its modest 24foot length through exceptional engineering and a "big boat" philosophy. Designed by the legendary W.I.B. Crealock and introduced in 1984, the Dana 24 was conceived to provide the safety and offshore capabilities of a 35foot yacht within a footprint that remains manageable for a solo sailor and trailerable with a heavyduty vehicle. Unlike many small sailboats of its era that were built for lake hopping or coastal day sailing, the Dana 24 was engineered from the keel up for bluewater passages. This commitment to quality is evident in its construction, which features a solid fiberglass hull and a deck reinforced with an endgrain balsa core, a hallmark of the Pacific Seacraft manufacturing standard.
