Project Boat - It is a big project from my perspective. But the foundation is good and the boat is a beauty in every way.
Most everything could be done by me, but it seemed difficult as the learning curve was steep..
I had stripped the boat of all but the electrical system to update some and simplify others. At a certain point, I realized, that a boat renovation is not my thing, so I moved it to a yard to figure out the next phase of its life. It should go to someone who has the skills and wants a great boat to day sail and do some overnight near shore cruising.
One important point, the engine is out and I was going to get an evaluation and then do some basic work on it to replace key parts. It is from 1980 and does run fine, but could use some love. The engine was taken out to replace the rubber seal of the sail drive where it goes thru the hull and that still needs to be done.
There is a lot more to the whole thing, but it would be worth the effort. She sails beautifully.
Equipment: As a point of reference - Budgeting is not something I am terribly good at. More often than not with projects, I jump in and start and adjust as time goes on so I never estimated the refit cost. Having said that, I feel like there are many refit options available to pursue.
The very short backstory of me and the Nonsuch is…
I bought her to live on in NYC and did that for several years in the early/mid 2000s. I sailed her home sometime around Fall 2008 and kept her in CT. Having decided to sell the boat, I listed at the worst possible moment.just as the Great Recession was getting into full swing. No luck selling.
Soon after that, and with the Nonsuch still under contract with a broker, I sailed my 21 Beneteau back down to the city and lived aboard her for several more years and eventually sailed her home. That boat illustrated the joy, pleasure and value of simplicity in live aboard life.
Having no offers, I decided to put the Nonsuch back down in NY as a live aboard, but was interested in creating a vastly simpler interior setup and an improved sail handling and rigging
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)
Shallow draft: 3.96’.
