ARGO is a classic and phenomenal Herreshoff design built and rigged as a cutter built in 1984 by Tortola Trawler
A classic, she is built strong with planked cedar and west system epoxy and fiberglass. Thickness ranges from 3” - 8” giving her a 24,000lb overall weight.
Her large V Berth contains a hanging locker and rich wood interior with one TV. The head is enclosed with the shower, vanity and holding tank.
The galley comes well equipped with a centerline drop-leaf table, Shipmate 2 burner kerosene stove and oven combination, S/S Sink pressure freshwater, saltwater foot pump, and a large icebox.
The 10,000 BTU Air Conditioner is more than ample to cool her down and additional lighting with three brass oil lamps. Sans A/C you can opt for deck hatches, solar fans, and three 12 volt cabin fans.
Electronics include: VHF Radio, Raystar, in-cabin GPS and an SSB receiver, tiller steering with 2 autopilots, Datamarine Depth Sounder, GPS Garmin 492 at the helm Simrad TP32& Navico 5500, Horizon Chartplotter VHF with DSC
1 jib 2 staysails 1 main-Spinnaker=5 sails total When not under sail, she has a 50hp Perkins diesel. The 3 fuel tanks have a range of 470 miles. Miscellaneous items included along with 2 anchors. She is ready to set sail to your dream destinations today. Live aboard and travel. Anyone who would buy it would dream of sailing the Caribbean or crossing oceans. 7 Lewmar winches,size & which are self-tailing-3 group 31 batteries-Size of anchors & ABI manual windless. Large ice box tells that the boat does NOT have refrigeration.(which could be a big minus to someone-but true) 100gal H2O-71gal fuel is a lot for this size boat & could be a big plus
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)
Probably an earlier version of the HERRESHOFF 38 CAT KETCH.
