Dana 24
The Dana 24 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by William Crealock as an ocean cruiser and first built in 1974.
The design was built by Pacific Seacraft in the United States from 1984 to 1999, but the company went out of business in 2007. The design was acquired by Seacraft Yachts, who commenced building the design again, starting with serial number 351. Over 250 examples of the design have been completed.
The Dana 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter sloop rig, a spooned and slightly raked stem, a nearly vertical transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller, a bowsprit and a fixed long keel. It displaces 7,400 lb (3,357 kg) and carries 3,100 lb (1,406 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM20F diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW).
The boat's galley is located on the port side of the cabin and has a stainless steel sink and a two-burner gimballed kerosene stove. The table can swing up and stow when not in use. A second table stows under the forward "V"-berth. The head is a marine type, with a shower. It has a privacy door and is located aft on the starboard side. Additional sleeping space is provided by the dinette settees, which extend under the forward "V"-berth for extra leg room.
Ventilation is provided by a forward hatch and opening bronze ports. There is an anchor chain locker, just aft of the bowsprit.
The cockpit has two genoa winches and a mainsheet traveler, which is mounted at the transom.
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 221 and a hull speed of 6.2 kn (11.5 km/h).
