Seller's Description

NEW CHAINPLATES 2023 !!!

The 1990 Island Packet 38 ‘Bonavista 1’ is a beautiful, well-equipped and well-maintained example of the popular Island Packet line of cruising yachts. She has received all the necessary upgrades to make her a true live-aboard long-range vessel, including: larger 54hp 4-cylinder Yanmar diesel (2006), wind generator, solar panel array, watermaker, SSB, AIS, furling mainsail, new rigging (2014), new chainplates 2022, and the list goes on!

Spending her early years in the Great Lakes, she had never tasted salt water until 2006, when she was bought by a couple looking to fulfill a dream that would take them up and down the Leeward & Windward island chain of the Caribbean, and so selected her for her excellent condition, low wear and tear, and superior strength and comfort so popular in the Island Packet line. Extensively outfitted for live-aboard cruising, she then completed the eastern Caribbean circuit and returned to Florida, where her next owner spared no expense in refitting her for single-handing to the Bahamas and back to Florida. That’s where her current owners bought her in 2016, and found her well fit-out, well updated, and in very good condition.

Having enjoyed 5 fabulous problem free years here in BVI they are now ready to see her on to new custodians and themselves onto other adventures. She is ready to go anywhere now, loaded with spares, outfitted with all the comforts and conveniences and will make an excellent choice for any couple wanting to go cruising, right now, without limits! Upon entering the companionway you will find the spacious galley to starboard, forward of which is the full aft-facing nav station and L-shaped settee which can convert to a double berth. The large dining table is bulkhead mounted and can be quickly folded up when not needed. A large bench settee to port completes the salon. The large aft stateroom and guest head are aft to port.

Equipment: The cockpit of the IP38 is exceptionally large for a boat of this size. The dodger and bimini can be separate, or joined to form a large single unit. A full cockpit enclosure provides complete protection from the elements. Rich teak joinery Floors are teak and holly, with nonskid in heads and base of companionway in excellent condition Cedar lined hanging lockers Ultra suede upholstery Abundant storage provided by multiple lockers, drawers and cabinets Teak bookcase Bottle storage behind fold-down dining table Full size aft facing chart table, doubles as computer workstation Six opening hatches 13 s/s portlights with insect screens and ‘Peekaboo’ sliding window blinds Three Weems & Plath brass oil lamps Weems & Plath brass barometer and clock Low consumption LED cabin lights throughout Full cockpit enclosure (new 2015, great condition) Cockpit ‘chairs’ with locking backs double as foredeck lounge chairs Beautiful Cabin Sole Head Holding Tank with new maceration (2023)

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.4 kn
Classic: 7.7 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

8.35 knots
Classic formula: 7.7 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.0
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.
18.0
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
46.5
>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

46.51
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
267.0
200-275: moderate

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
266.95
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
32.5
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
32.5
<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
1.82
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Draft for CB version: 4.0’ BU, 7.58’ BD.
