1988 Pacific Seacraft 24' (7.32 m) Dana 24
Branford, Connecticut, United States
FreeStyle
Legendary 24' Dana that can sail anywhere. This trailerable little yacht is known as a stable bluewater cruiser capable of taking you offshore. She has all the amenities of a larger boat but is easily single handed. Freestyle is a nice example of this well regarded model.

Accommodations
With 6' 1" headroom the Dana 24 feels like a much larger boat. Stepping down the companionway, to port is a full galley with a gimbaled Force 10 two burner propane stove with oven, a large insulated icebox, a 10" deep sink with hand pump and a fold-up extension to the counter space. To starboard is the walk-in head compartment with manual head, a sink with hand pump, an integral shower pan and a hanging wet locker.
Four people can sleep comfortably with two 6' 6" settees and a forward V-berth that is 6' 8" long and 6' 9" wide. There is additional storage in two large drawers and a drop locker beneath the berth, cabin shelving and a hanging locker. A clever dining table slides out from beneath the V berth when needed. The interior exudes the warmth of had rubbed oiled teak with teak joinery and cabinets above a teak and holly sole. Eight bronze opening ports and a large Bomar deck hatch provide good light and ventilation.
The builder boats that the Dana 24s interior is "fully 50 percent larger than other boats of similar length".

The cockpit bench seats are 6'3" long and 18" wide with storage below. There is a green dodger with matching cockpit cushions.

With a life-long passion for boats and the water much of what I've done in life has in one way or another involved boats. As a youngster, my family owned several boats which we kept in Branford, CT at the Indian Neck Yacht Club. After high school, I spent 15 years in the U.S. Coast Guard in which I spent 18 months in Alaska before returning to CT where I became certified as coxswain of Coast Guard search and rescue boats up to 44'.Â
After my Coast Guard service, I worked for 10 years in the wholesale marine equipment business where I supplied boatyards and marine dealers throughout Connecticut.Â
In 1983 I began selling new boats and have worked for two reputable Connecticut dealerships; 14 years at Milford Boat Works selling new Mako, Pursuit, Phoenix, Black Watch, Cape Dory, and North Coast powerboats plus O'Day, Cal, Pearson and Freedom sailboats. Then 14 years at Petzold's Marine selling Sabre, Back Cove, Silverton, Mainship, Luhrs, Egg Harbor and Ocean powerboats. I now have a long, successful history of selling quality new boats.Â
In 2013, after 30 years of selling new boats I was ready for a change. I decided to concentrate exclusively on the brokerage boat market. I joined Brewer Yacht Sales, one of the Northeast's largest yacht brokerage firms. I've now been at Brewer Yacht Sales for over 12 years. I work out of two of Safe Harbor's largest Connecticut marinas: Pilots Point Marina in Westbrook and Bruce & Johnsons Marina in Branford.Â
Buying or selling a yacht can be a comprehensive process and you should choose your broker carefully. I am proud of my reputation for honesty and my designation as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB). With 40 years and over 1200 boat sales transactions behind me, the knowledge and experience I've gained are invaluable when it comes to protecting my client's interests. Whether you are considering buying or selling, power or sail, I can help. I look forward to working with you.
