Seller's Description

Blitzkrieg (Sail #41181) is for sale. I purchased this boat in 2009 and spent 2 years restoring her to better than new condition prior to sailing her exclusively on Lake Michigan since 2011. Stored indoors every off-season. Boat is in excellent structural condition. Deck demonstrates racing activity was enjoyed since 2011.

  • All standing rigging replaced in 2011
  • All running rigging (except for starboard jib halyard) replaced in 2011, with main halyard and port jib halyard replaced in 2021.
  • Deck re-cored with Divinylcell where the balsa had deteriorated
  • All through-deck bolts/fittings are core bonded
  • All bulkheads have been replaced and encapsulated in glass/epoxy, with main bulkhead creating a “circular bulkhead” at mast step to eliminate the need for a “beam of destiny,” thus stiffening the hull
  • Keel/bilge reinforced with structural cross members being glassed in
  • Foredeck reinforced with “ribbing” below deck in V-berth
  • All stanchion post/supports replaced and reinforced with glassed in gussets below deck
  • Epoxy barrier coat, faired bottom by manual longboard sanding
  • VC17 bottom paint
  • Keel templated and faired
  • Rudder replaced in 2018
  • Long-E Forte Carbon Fiber boom ca. 2013
  • B&G Zeus3 instrumentation and chartplotter installed in 2019
  • All LED running lights
  • Standard Horizon VHF + cockpit ram mike
  • AIS receiver and GPS via Standard Horizon VHF
  • Raymarine ST200 Autohelm
  • New Tohatsu 6 hp outboard 2021
  • New bulkhead mounted Plastimo Compass 2022
  • Life sling in hardshell case

Calculations

Hull Speed
10.9 kn
Classic: 7.12 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

10.85 knots
Classic formula: 7.12 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
25.9
>20: high 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.
25.89
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
44.4
>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

44.44
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
89.4
<100: Ultralight

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
89.43
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
11.2
<20: lightweight racing boat

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
11.23
<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
2.4
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.38
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The first seven hulls where built at Evelyn’s Formula Yachts shop in Groton, CT. (C&C Yachts -Middletown, RI USA), built the rest (after 1984). The early hulls had Divinycell cores while the later ones had balsa cores.
(Displacement listed in promotional literature shown here.)
Not to be confused with an earlier EVELYN 32 1/2 TON (1976?).
