That thing is so cool

The best boat I have ever owned. She is comfortable, sturdy, reliable, and forgiving. Perfect for a cruising couple. As for single-handing... the boat can handle that easily, but can you? Make sure you have a self steering system which demands no power.

curious guys (lunarcod) who actually owns the Flicka's mold? Will we ever see PSC bring back this really small trailor pocket sailor? I really hope so :)

@abranco87 Why are you asking about the pacific? I thought you said Bermuda?? I would not recommend sailing this or any boat single handed if your new to sailing! It is a great boat if you can afford the price, as its very spendy for a 24 foot pocket cruiser. Good luck mate!

Hey guys im fairly new to sailing bout have been powerboating since i was 3. i am planning on a small cruise from canada to bermuda. My concerns are how well can this be single handed? and i know lots of people have sailed these across the atlantic but could it take the pacific?

Wow, Crealock was one heck of a designer! Our last two sailboats were designed by him - he was one of the best! If I were to single-hand a sailboat this would be the one.

Gorgeous. Takes guts to start production now in this economy - but it Seacraft can wait things out - this is bound to be a big seller. Not many other new build small <30ft bluewater with shallow draft.

i love the dana 24 and glad to see production taken over by someone else.
Hey Doc - the molds are owned by the company that built the boat we reviewed: Seacraft Yacht Sales in Seattle. They are hand-building the Dana 24 on Bainbridge Island (using some of the same craftsman that were at PSC). It's been tough, though. They started doing this right when they economy (and the sailing industry) was in its tailspin. They're good people, and they're trying to do the Dana the justice it deserves and more. And they should know, having sold many of them by PSC over the years.
