The Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 is widely regarded as the definitive "pocket cruiser," a vessel that defies its modest 24-foot 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 35-foot yacht within a footprint that remains manageable for a solo sailor and trailerable with a heavy-duty 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 blue-water passages. This commitment to quality is evident in its construction, which features a solid fiberglass hull and a deck reinforced with an end-grain balsa core, a hallmark of the Pacific Seacraft manufacturing standard.
