1988 Pacific Seacraft Dana 24

Listed
Expired
$31,000 USD

Seller's Description

Price lowered – eager to sell before winter!

The beloved William Crealock design.

Has seen little use in the last five years. Shrink-wrapped each winter.

Very solid; in good, sound condition, with the beauty and comfort you’d expect from a Dana 24.

Does not have many of the after-market amenities that other examples have.

Exterior teak is in transition from Cetol to bare (the teak itself is in good condition but looks a bit ratty).

USCG Documented

Equipment: Hull #109

New Bowsprit in 2014. Shims installed under the platform to reduce rotational wear around the bowsprit that caused the original spar to rot.

Engine

Original Yanmar 2GM20 in good condition

Mixing Elbow replaced 2020

Electric lift pump replaced 2020

All fuel lines replaced 2013

diesel tank scrubbed in 2013

Sails:

UK Sailmakers Furling genoa, fair condition

Red, white, and blue cruising spinnaker with dousing sock; can be flown single-handed.

Electronics:

Datamarine Depth and Speed

VHF Radio

Extras:

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.3 kn
Classic: 5.84 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

6.26 knots
Classic formula: 5.84 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.1
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
18.11
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
276.8
275-350: heavy

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
276.82
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
21.0
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
21.02
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.9
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

One of a number of versions of the S&S designed DOLPHIN 24.
Pacific Dolphin Inc. was located in Anaheim CA, USA. It is said they acquired their molds from Yankee Yachts when the latter company went out of business.
For more information see DOLPHIN 24.
Thanks to ‘sailinmike’ (owner of PACIFIC DOLPHIN #300) for providing updated information on this yacht.
