The Pearson 39 is a good performing, roomy and comfortable cruiser. Perfect for families or a couple cruising South to the Bahamas. Antares features a centerboard keel, two-stateroom two-head layout, 2016 Beta Marine inboard diesel, new genoa, and new interior upholstery. She was just launched for the season and is ready to go.

Accommodations Antares features a roomy 2-stateroom, 2-head layout. Plenty of light and air is provided by 6 deck hatches and 9 opening ports. All interior cushions were re-upholstered in 2020.

The large V-berth forward includes a hanging locker and storage drawers.

The Forward Head is just aft to starboard.

The Main Saloon features a long settee to port with outboard storage, and a U-shaped dinette to starboard that converts to a double berth. There is a centerline drop-leaf dining table.

The Galley is located aft to starboard and the Nav Station, aft to port. Galley Features: 3-burner Hillerange LPG stove & oven. The propane locker is located under the aft cockpit seating 12V Adler Barbour refrigeration H/C pressure water. Hot water heater replaced in 2019. Double Stainless Steel sink Large amounts of locker and drawer space

The Aft Stateroom is aft of the galley and the Aft Head is located aft of the Nav Station to port. Both forward and aft heads have a dedicated 25 gallon holding tank. Both have Y-valves for overboard discharge. Both have showers with dedicated sumps, however the aft head offers more room

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.3 kn
Classic: 7.49 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

8.34 knots
Classic formula: 7.49 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.1
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.
18.1
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.5
>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

40.47
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
245.4
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
245.36
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
26.7
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
26.68
<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
1.9
<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
1.94
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
