Michael Hayward is selling his boat! An AMEL Kirk 36ft! SV Islander is ready to sail, and in a gorgeous location ready for your holidays and winter getaways or heck get her ready to sail around the world as so many Amels have done! This is the little sister to SV Delos!
Islander is ready to sail. She is a great boat for someone looking to do day sailing around the islands. For ocean passages she will probably need some upgrades. I planned to take her to Europe but have a second boat I am now focusing on. I have lived on board Islander since I bought her a year ago and have sailed her around Grenada regularly. I have replaced most of the running rigging and done numerous small upgrades. She lost her vhf antenna and wind anemometer in hurricane Beryl, and can use a complete new nav instrument upgrade. I sail with a tablet and Navionics which is perfect for coastal. The bow pulpit rail was damaged but is easily repairable. Amel builds their boats with all round stainless tubing handrails. out of words many more info and photos available

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)
