This is a great trailer-sailer for daysailing, short overnights, single handing or cruising with friends and family. It features a unique ballasted shoal keel, so you can tuck into the shallowest of places. The drop-down centerboard provides stability and upwind performance that makes this boat safe and big fun to sail in a wide variety of winds. This boat is in very good condition and comes with extras. Long in production with much information available on-line. Length: 17.5 ft Beam: 7.5 ft Draft, Board up – 1’ 6” Draft, Board down – 4’ 3” Displacement – 1100 lbs. Ballast – 350 lbs Mast height above DWL – 27’ Designer: - Jim Taylor Sails - Main (85), jib (60) and spiniker (145, with pole) Tohatsu MFS 5 HP 2009 with alternator, low hours Continental trailer with tongue extension, guide posts and LED lights, 2009 tires almost always kept inside since then Shoal draft keel w/fiberglass center board Lead ballasted, self-righting design Kick-up fiberglass and aluminum rudder Laminated mahogany and ash tiller Stainless steel standing rigging Molded in non-skid deck surface 6’4” self bailing cockpit Fuel tank locker Cockpit seat locker Electrical system W/ navigation and cabin lights Sliding companionway hatch Cockpit lead halyards Cam cleats for jib Stainless steel bow rail, stern rail, stanchions and boarding ladder Stainless steel, kick up motor mount Stainless steel bow eye Teak wood trim 2 cabin windows with curtains Aluminum opening forward hatch with screen.

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)
