1987 Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 Boat in Riverside, NJ 08075 US

1987 Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 - Available now!

Tango has been mostly kept in freshwater. The Dana 24 features a balanced, efficient sail plan with manageable-sized individual sails, a high ballast ratio, and a sophisticated hull design. This gives it striking maneuverability on all points of sail and provides good windward performance, a feature often lacking in many pocket cruisers.

This sturdy little yacht is also very forgiving. It has comfort, balance, and speed, and is easily managed by a short-handed crew or a singlehander.

Part of the Dana 24's appeal is its traditional appearance, from its beefy bow pulpit and sleek sheerline to the chrome bronze deck hardware and teak loop handrails on the cabin top. This classic feel extends below, where the salon exudes the warmth of hand-rubbed, oiled teak, with teak joinery and cabinets above a teak-and-holly sole.

With 6 feet, 1 inch of headroom, the Dana 24 feels like a much larger yacht. Stepping down the companionway to port, there's a full galley with a gimbaled two-burner propane stove, oven, and broiler, a large insulated icebox, a 10-inch-deep sink with a hand pump, and a fold-up extension to the counter space. To starboard is the head compartment, which has the head, a sink with a hand pump, an integral shower pan, and a hanging locker for wet gear.

Four people can sleep comfortably aboard the 24, with two 6' 6" settees and a forward berth that's 6' 8" long and 6' 9" wide. A dining table slides out from under the V-berth. With a cleverly hinged center, it fits neatly around the interior post and can be used either fully or partially extended.

This is a lot of boat in a small package. There's a reason why several Dana 24s have circumnavigated the globe.
