We have traveled around and lived aboard EscapeCaye in Gulfport, MS since Covid. We’re moving on and she needs a new owner with the time and motivation to finish her refit.
Unique starboard walk-through cockpit coaming makes boarding or provisioning a pleasure instead of a chore. Full standing height throughout. Large swim platform made of StarBoard. 2 full baths with 300 gallons of fresh water, macerating freshwater head forward, and a composting head aft (she was never equipped with a holding tank so the LectraSan can be serviced or there’s room for a holding tank below). With 2 onboard she goes about 3 weeks between water and composting media reloads. 200 gallon fuel capacity using approx 1.25 gallons per hour motoring at 7 knots. 16000BTU reverse cycle AC, exterior window shades, and blinds keep her liveable year round.
Take delivery in Gulfport or I will deliver her to Zern in Pensacola at buyer’s request.
Equipment: 3 x Kilovault 12V 180Ah 12V PLC AGM lead carbon bank (tolerant of partial state of charge and approx 5kWh usable power due to lead carbon technology), 60A shore charger, and 2kW inverter installed. AGM charging is sped up and optimized by a 210A Sterling alternator to battery charger and 130A auxilliary alternator. New water heater installed. New faucets installed. Seagull drinking water filtration system. 6 cylinder Perkins was rebuilt by previous owner and looks/runs great. Hull was painted with Awlgrip epoxy.
Masts are off and undergoing refit/upgrades from in-mast furler to track system at Zern Rigging in Pensacola. Work is underway with more than $12k of the rig refit cost already paid.
We decided to go electric and refit the galley with induction cook top, inverter microwave, and electric oven chosen for their efficiency. We love how it all works. I have used zero propane in my time aboard except for outdoor grilling.
Extensive list of systems already purchased and ready to be installed include 15kWh 24V lithium bank (specific for the inverter), Magnum 4kW hybrid inverter-charger with advanced control panel, fuel efficient 3kW Yanmar marine diesel generator, new chainplates, new furler, 6000BTU AC for aft cabin, Victron battery monitor, 700W of solar with Victron controller, wind generator, and more.
The hybrid AC electrical was designed with off-grid life in mind. 4kW hybrid inverter-charger fed by a 24V 15kWh (600Ah) lithium bank provides more than 30A at any time with power to spare. With the 3kW Yanmar marine diesel generator running there should be more than 50A available to power the boat, or the generator should fully charge the lithium bank in a 4-5 hour duty cycle.
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)
Available as a sloop or ketch.
