Underway, the Dana 24 provides the same feeling of security and safety associated with much larger boats. For sure footing, the deck is completely surrounded by bulwarks, a full five inches at the bow topped by a custom-fitted teak caprail. Caprail joints are locked together with "butterfly" inserts to insure that they will never seperate. Here is the shipwright's traditional craft at its finest, the skillful joining of wooden parts into a beautiful and functional part of the yacht's appointments. Double rail, stainless steel bow and stern pulpits and 27" high stanchions are bolted to the deck through full stainless steel backing plates. Safety is further insured when going forward in heavy weather by the installation of four thrubolted teak handrails that run the length of the cabin top. The bowsprit with bronze eyeband form a solid base for the teak bowsprit playform, stainless steel pulpit and heavy-duty anchor roller. The anchor can be kept rigged and ready to let go at a moment's notice: a vital safety feature on any well-found cruising boat. At the base of the mast is a stainless steel plate with secure attachments points for blocks, shackles or other gear. Deck drains are molded in and trimmed in bronze to keep side decks dry. All deck hardware, including winches, cleats and chocks, is solid bronze, installed with full backing plates bedded on both sides. Outboard genoa track, for precision sail trim is part of the standard equipment, along with a ball-bearing mainsheet traveller installed across the transom.
