Seller's Description

We have decided to part with our well cared for 1995 Island Packet 37. We are the third owner of IP37 hull #15. Island Packets are known for their blue water sturdiness and ability to take care of you in heavy weather. All lines run back to the cockpit, so you can reef without ever stepping out onto the deck as the weather turns sour. Weve sailed the US East coast, New York to Key West, Florida and the boat has met all weather conditions thrown at us, keeping us comfortable and safe during each passage.

SoulShine was minimally used by the two prior owners, with the engine having less than 400 hours when we took over, and now sitting at just over 1000 hours. When we took ownership, the interior, such as the stainless steel sink and the 3-burner stove had barely ever been used. Thereve been many upgrades to the boat since, which are listed below. SoulShine is ready to take the next owners anywhere you want to go.

Full keel hull was sanded down and layered (7 layers) with Interlux 2000E Epoxy in 2017. Bottom was painted with 3 coats of PCA Gold antifouling bottom paint in 2020. Air Conditioner with reverse cycle heat was installed in 2020, the most useful installation weve done to improve comfort levels living onboard full time!

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 7.46 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

8.0 knots
Classic formula: 7.46 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.3
16-20: good performance

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.
18.3
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
44.3
>40: stiffer, more 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

44.32
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
277.1
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
277.11
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
30.6
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

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
30.57
<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
1.84
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal Draft: 3.67’
