Hull #307 | Located: La Paz, Mexico | Turnkey & Offshore Ready

The Legend of the Dana 24

"Tiny Dancer" is an exceptionally outfitted example of the Bill Crealock-designed Pacific Seacraft Dana 24. Often called the "biggest" 24-foot boat ever built, the Dana is a legendary bluewater pocket cruiser celebrated for its 6'1" standing headroom, robust hand-laminated fiberglass hull, and remarkable heavy-weather performance. Whether you are planning a solo crossing or exploring the stunning anchorages of the Sea of Cortez, this vessel offers the reliability and comfort of a 40-foot yacht in a nimble, manageable package.

Major Systems & Recent Upgrades (2021-2025)

While her sister ships may be basic, "Tiny Dancer" has been meticulously upgraded for long-term energy independence and off-grid cruising.

Advanced Lithium Power: Equipped with two BattleBorn Lithium house batteries (2021), a SunPower solar array, and a Victron MPPT controller (New 2025). This system provides true 12V independence for the offshore sailor.
Offshore Rigging & Sails: A powerful cutter rig featuring a 2022 tri-radial genoa, a Carol Hasse-reinforced mainsail, and new Lewmar Self-Tailing winches (2021).
Water & Provisions: Stay out longer with the Spectra Katadyn Powersurvivor 40E watermaker and a Frigiboat Danfoss keel-cooled refrigeration system—essential for tropical cruising in Mexico.
Navigation & Safety: Fully integrated Garmin electronics including a 7607 XSV display, 4kW Radar, and AIS. Autopilot duties are handled by a Pelagic system with a wireless remote, backed up by a secondary Raymarine unit.

Tiny Dancer has so much more to offer. For a comprehensive list of equipment, tankage, and recent upgrades, please click the "Specs" tab at the top of this page.

Cruising the Sea of Cortez
