Seller's Description
Previous owner paid 25k before having the Westerbeke Diesel and transmission installed.
This is a wonderful 1969 Islander 37 Sailboat. The hull is fiberglass and very strong. Sailed from Portland to where she rests now in Coos Bay, OR
This boat has a Westerbeke 30 diesel and transmission with less than 900 hours. This engine was installed professionally to replace the atomic gas engine. When the engine was put in place, a dripless stuffing box was also installed. The shaft was professional aligned last year in Portland, OR.
Some other work that I have recently done:
-new jasco transfer pump bilge pump -rebuilt original shower bilge pump -2 new 6v deep cycle batteries -1 new 12v starter battery -new y-valve for overboard/holding tank from toilet -40amp alternator -New hot water heater electric or engine heat is on board but not yet installed. -Kerosene heat- tank was removed and serviced- is in place but just needs to be secured and hooked back up. -New antimicrobial cushions covered by marine vinyl throughout boat with a few extra cushions that I used in the cockpit while cruising. -rebuilt 2-way whale gusher 25 manual bilge pump.
Work to be completed- -I began some painting in the cabin and removal of headliner- The ceiling is currently bare. I have one roll of reflectix insulation ready to install as well as some marine vinyl that matches new cushions ready to install.
-I live about 2 hours from where the boat sits, on my last visit, the 12v system seems to have developed a short or bad ground. I had time to hook up a battery tender and test the control panel (tested good) but am not familiar enough with electrical to have found the bad ground. All electrical was replaced professionally by the previous owner within the last 10 years so I believe that this is a very simple fix. I just did not quite know where to look. This means that although all 12v systems worked great while I lived aboard including the refrigerated ice box, bilge pumps, cabin lights etc… They currently are not getting power. I’m sure someone with k

Calculations

7.7 kn
Classic: 7.13 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.7
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
35.7
<40: less stiff, less 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
- Displacement/Length
-
275.3
200-300: moderate
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
29.2
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
- Capsize Screening
-
1.8
<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
