Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 Sailboat – Used Boats For Sale

The Dana 24 by Pacific Seacraft is the larger sister to the Flicka 20. Both boats are extremely capable bluewater cruisers.  The Dana 24 is often used as a live aboard boat because of its spacious accommodations and standing headroom. The attention to detail both inside and out and the accommodations are amazing for a boat that is only 24 feet long. With the Dana 24 you get a boat that is large enough to live aboard, yet small enough to handle single handed.  The boat can also be trailered just like the Flicka 20.

The Dana 24 was originally designed by Bill Crealock and was first built by Pacific Seacraft beginning in 1984. Several Dana 24 sailboats have completed circumnavigations attesting to the boats seaworthiness. The yachts full keel and attached rudder make it ideal for long, safe and comfortable voyages anywhere in the world.  It has a relatively shallow draft for a bluewater boat which opens up cruising areas closed to deeper draft boats.

Pacific Seacraft built the Dana 24 from 1984 to 1998 then again in 2002. The Dana 24 is now built by Seacraft Yachts in the North West. Used Dana 24’s run from the $40’s to over $100k.

We have additional specifications for the Dana 24 such as LOA, Beam, Displacement, Headroom, Draft, Sail Area, etc.. here.


I had my Flicka 20 Wood / Teak Bowsprit replaced with an aluminum one. I know it’s not original equipment but I like not having to worry about it again.  I am sure the same thing can be done for the Dana 24. Here is a link to some pictures of the new bowsprit.
