Mapache is a heavy displacement, full keel, double-ender outfitted to go cruising today. She underwent a major refit in 2020 and 2021. The boat is located in LA Cruz de Huanacatle (Banderas Bay)and will be here until sold. Are you ready to sail around the world or do you want a reliable boat to enjoy the Sea of Corts? She spent the last two (half) cruising seasons in the Sea. And with her Hasse-made (Port Townsend Sails) light air asymmetrical spinnaker, easy boarding with a swim ladder, and cockpit shades and cushions this boat is the perfect way to enjoy the Seas beauty. She is also ready to sail across the Pacific, with a watermaker, windvane, and like-new heavy duty cruising sails. We would consider selling in the Banderas Bay area, as well. We spent quite a lot of time (and money) preparing this boat to go around the world. However, my father passed away and we are now moving onto his boat. So now we need to sell our beloved Mapache.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.7 kn
Classic: 7.7 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

7.73 knots
Classic formula: 7.7 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.6
<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.
15.58
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
35.6
<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

35.63
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
341.5
275-350: 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
341.46
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
43.1
40-50: heavy bluewater 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
43.08
<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
1.6
<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
1.63
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Three versions of the HC 38 were produced though basic dimensions were similar. One version was designated the ‘Traditional Cutter’ or HANS CHRISTIAN 38T. Another version, usually referred to as the HANS CHRISTIAN 38 MKII (introduced in 1978 and built at another yard), has a slightly different hull shape, rig and interior. A few of both versions were delivered with a ketch rig.
This version has a new underbody (with separate rudder on skeg) called the ‘telstar keel’ and was introduced in 1984. (Available on HC 38T only.) See HANS CHRISTIAN 38T for more details.
Altogether, it is thought that around 210 HANS CHRISTIAN 38s were built.
