If you are looking for an updated, well-cared-for, easily trailerable boat that can be singlehanded as a daysailer or weekender, can be enjoyed with friends and family, can make it into 3’ of water, can be used to comfortably explore all sorts of locales in all sorts of conditions…this is a great boat for you.
I owned a 31-footer before this boat; I downsized, looking for something that I could take to any lake I could drive to. I wanted more freedom to get into shallow areas, even close up to beaches. I felt this is especially important given fluctuating water levels. I wanted something I could singlehand and that I could get from the trailer to the water by myself, if necessary. But I still wanted a comfortable boat to sleep on with an ice box, stove, and head. I wanted a boat that moved well and could race if I wanted to race. But I also wanted a boat that I could set the autopilot on and could sit back and read as the boat sailed itself to the next port. This boat is over 20 years-old, but it in such good condition and has so many new components and accessories, that it would take $20K extra to get a new boat up to this level of readiness.
The boat is currently shrinkwrapped and safe on her trailer. If you’d like to come out and see her, we can get inside. This boat, trailer, and motor are totally ready to go and can be in the water with sails out in a couple hours.
I’m happy to answer questions. She’s a great boat!

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)
