1972 Colvin Gazelle 42 Junk Schooner

Listed

Seller's Description

Heres a rare opprotunity to own a fine example of Tom Colvins most popular design. This 1972 Gazelle, a chinese junk rigged schooner that has been well loved and upkept for its entirety. She has successfully sailed the North and South Pacific many times over. s/v Vagrant has been gone through repeated refits and shows very well. She semes to have one of the finest finishes down below for a Gazelle and has a very comfortable layout. She comes with many spares and accesories to take off cruising now! Or keep her in the Pacific Northwest as a unique first or second home or daysailer. The steel hull brings great peace of mind for navigating the log strewn pnw at night and the shallow draft opens up way more anchorage opportunities around the world. Shes the jewel of every anchorage, and under sail she gets continous nods to her romantic lines. She is berthed in East Sound now for a sea trial.

The forward v berth sleeps two with built in cabinetry with two portlights for ventilation. The head has a deluxe new composting toilet with 12V fan. Smells great. Comes with a supply of cococoir. The salon sleeps 2 with lee cloths plus a quarterberth to port. The aft cabin sleeps two and houses the chart table/desk zone/radar along with all the spare sails and PFDs. The engine room has pass through access to both cabins. The standing and running rigging are in great condition. This boat needs nothing to go cruising again. It visited the Gulf Islands twice this summer. The Isuzu with fixed 3 blade prop is very dependable and economical. The solar is extremely effecient. When cruising, we run the fridge 24/7 without any need for alternative power generation. That is why the new shore power equipment on board was never installed. The three heat sources are by propane and diesel and engine coolant. She would make a fine liveaboard and is fully insulated. Your go anywhere waterfront tiny home. Vagrant has proven to be very low maintenance. She is water tight and all topside paint is in good condition. If you have ever wanted to re-spark your love for sailing, the junk r

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

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

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

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.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

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
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

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
?
<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
?

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
?
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
