The Dana 24 can accurately be described as “perfection in the just the right size”. Kalila is no exception. Pacific Seacraft is known for high quality construction, fixtures, and finishes. It’s this standard of excellence that has always set Pacific Seacraft apart from the rest.  The Dana 24 was designed to have the speed, balance, and comfort of the larger boats in the Pacific Seacraft family, and generate the same feeling of safety and security as a larger boat while underway. They are fast, responsive, comfortable, easy to sail, and very charming.  Kalila has clearly been loved by her previous owners. The cabin shows almost new and is incredibly spacious for a 24’ boat. The Dana has a 6’ 1” headroom and 6’ 6” length v-berth. The settees also convert to berths. Six ports add lots of light, and a cover on the stove adds plenty of workspace in the galley.  Kalila is powered by a Yanmar Diesel engine with 514 hours. Other features include Espar diesel forced air, Truecharge battery charger, and enclosed head. Sail inventory includes main sail, 100% jib, roller furling and 150% Genoa. Whether you are cruising or weekending, single-handing or with the family, Kalila is the ultimate sailing boat for the Pacific Northwest. The Dana 24 provides access to smaller anchorages without compromising sailing performance. When you climb aboard Kalila it clear that she possesses the highly regarded Pacific Seacraft quality. Call anytime for an appointment to view.

When it comes to bluewater sailing, having a reliable sail furler is essential. Furling systems allow sailors to quickly and easily reef or unfurl sails as needed, even in adverse weather conditions. Let’s explore the different types of sail furling systems commonly found on bluewater sailboats and the factors to consider when choosing the right furler for your vessel. And, see what we did to compensate for our broken furler (used a different sail) while catching a glimpse of a whale and witnessing Enrique free climb the mast to loosen a halyard.
