This 1978 Formosa 46’ Cutter Kelly Peterson design is ready to hit the waters
The owner has made lots of upgrades over the last year:
The Bottom Hull has been sanded down to gel coat and replaced blisters with 400 West System. 2 coats of InterProtect 2000E Barrier Coat System has been applied. 3-5 coats of INTERLUX-Micron 66 Antifouling Paint have been applied. The Top Hull got 2 coats of AwlCraft 2000 in Snow White.
7 House bank Batteries and 2 start batteries have been replaced with AGM. The fiberglassed enclosed chainplates were removed and replaced with an outside custom chainplate. The bent forestay and furling were replaced with Pro Furl System.
The old Lifelines have been replaced with new Stainless Steel. The Port and Starboard rear lower shrouds have been replaced.
It has a new dinghy and dinghy engine 20 HP in July of 2021.
It features a new Garmin depthfinder and Chartplotter radar, VHF radio with AIS has been installed.
Also, a new Victron 3000W Inverter charger has been installed.
Much more has been done to this Sailboat.
Dinghy included: West Marine 10’ 2”
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Yet another altered version of the KELLY-PETERSON 44 (PETERSON 44 CUTTER), first offered in 1976.
(Often, as in this case, with out the payment of design royalties.)
To make the boat longer, it is said that builders simply added an incremental distance between each station on the original plans.
