Featured Boat 27' Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 1985 US$ 40,000 Brenda Kay, a Dana 24, exemplifies the success of her designer on all counts. Sophisticated hull design and a balanced sailplan give her the power to take on any sea while maintaining comfort and ease of handling for the singlehander or the short-handed crew. The Dana 24 combines moderate displacement with a high ballast ratio to provide speed, stability and a sea-kindly cruising performance. And that fine underbody gives her another advantage that's often lacking in other small cruisers— outstanding windward ability. Reaching along in the warm tradewinds may be part of the dream, but beating to windward is part of the reality. Her long keel and cutaway forefoot give directional stability and superb balance for maneuverability under both sail and power. One of the joys of owning a small cruising boat is the ability to gunkhole, to drop the hook in a secluded anchorage or explore a tucked-away little cove that's inaccessible to bigger, deeper boats. The Dana's shoal draft makes her the perfect boat for such pleasures. She sails into hidden lagoons with the same ease that she takes to the open ocean.
