Seller's Description

CLICK LINK FOR WEBSITE LOTS OF PICTURES WWW.VINDO45FORSALE.WORDPRESS.COM

The Vindo 45 is featured in Ferenc Mates book The Worlds Best Sailboats as well as recommended in John Neals offshore cruising boat list.

The Vindo 45 has a spacious and cozy interior with plenty of natural light and ventilation from the deckhouse hatches. This boat has the standard forward and aft center. Then we added two, one for the head and the other for symmetrical appearance . It has two separate cabins: V-berth forward and aft double cabin port side. The aft cabin has an opening port.

The one head with a shower is located aft of the v-berth to starboard. U-shaped galley to starboard with a two-burner stove, an oven, a double sink, ice box, and ample storage space. Aft facing navigation station to port with a chart table, instruments, and electrical panel. Large saloon with an U-shaped settee to starboard and a straight settee to port, both convertible to berths. Folding dining table that can accommodate six people. It has plenty of cabinets, shelves, lockers, and drawers throughout the boat for storage. An attractive woodwork finish with teak and mahogany.

New wire rigging and halyards 2019. New backstay adjuster 2019. New Tricolor and strobe 2019. 2022 new VHF w/GPS extension cockpit mic, Vesper AIS Transceiver, New Dodger. New Lewmar hatches midship in the head and directly port of the head. Bottom paint ABC3 2022 July. New house batteries 2023. Bilge pump rebuilt 2022. Head system rebuilt with new head and valves as well as holding tank rewelded 2022.

Repairs that have not been tended to include teak decks which are original. Head sink thru-hull is frozen shut. Head has not been attached for overboard pumping. Interior varnish, some floor needs replacing next to u shaped settee as well as outside of the cockpit combing needs to be done. Ignition switch has been bypassed for starting as it was not working.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.2 kn
Classic: 6.93 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

7.22 knots
Classic formula: 6.93 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.4
<16: under powered

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.
14.38
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
42.4
>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

42.38
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
303.6
300-400: heavy

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
303.59
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
28.6
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
28.64
<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
1.86
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
