$9,500 USD

Seller's Description

Located in Hampton Virginia, right on the Chesapeake Bay, this classic sailing vessel is currently being sailed weekly and has many recent upgrades. It is a very seaworthy and comfortable boat that can be singlehanded or take a full boat of passengers for a comfortable day on the water.

All running rigging is in good order and updated in July 2020 and jib has a Harken roller furler. Two new 105AH house batteries, and new LED navigation lights. Atomic 4 gasoline engine is fresh water cooled and has been overhauled with new electronic ignition, coil, distributor, plugs and wires (July 2020). 20 gallon Monel aluminum gas tank polished and fuel pump serviced and a new Carburetor and custom designed 3 blade propeller was installed in Sept 2020. New blower motor and the dripless PSS shaft seal was serviced and reseated recently.

New ICOM M330G VHF radio with DSC and GPS. New SPXFlow Johnson marine head and new electric water pump and faucet in galley sink (July 2020). There is ample galley storage, a deep icebox and a marine fridge with both AC and 12v power.

Dodger, Bimini and Sail Cover all recently repaired and new zippers installed.

Bottom scraped most recently last month and bottom paint is in serviceable shape. Two unopened gallons of Interlux Micron for the next haul out.

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.5 kn
Classic: 6.46 kn

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

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

6.52 knots
Classic formula: 6.46 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.0
<16: under powered

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
15.02
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
36.9
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

36.85
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
337.0
275-350: heavy

Displacement / Length Ratio

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
336.95
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
29.5
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
29.51
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.76
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Also available with a yawl rig.
A daysailer version called the GYPSY 30 was advertised but it is unknown if any were actually built.
