1992 Menger Cat 19 with 9 HP 1GM10 Yanmar and Trailer
The Menger 19 is ideal for people looking to do a little cruising. The cabin has sitting headroom for a 6’ 8” person, and the bunks measure 10 feet so there is ample room for you to sleep. The cockpit is large enough for eight people to sit comfortably and not get in each others way. This Cat is the same size as many 22-foot to 24-foot sloops. Compare its displacement rather than its length. It is also a great sailing boat with good sea keeping capability Basic Boat Info Boat Name: CATSEYE Make: Menger Model: Menger Cat 19 Year: 1992 Condition: Used Category: Sail Builder: Menger Boatworks Designer: Menger Construction: Fiberglass Boat Hull ID: MENCAT86H192 Has Hull ID: Yes Keel Type: Centerboard Keel Dimensions Length: 19 ft Length Overall: 19 ft Waterline Length: 18’5 ft Beam: 8 ft Max Draft: 4’6 ft Min Draft: 1’10 ft Engines / Speed Engines: 1 Make: Yanmar Model: 1GM10 Fuel: Diesel Engine Power: 9hp Type: Inboard Year: 1992 Tanks Fuel Tank Capacity: 12 gal Other Boat Class: Racers and Cruisers
Equipment: Hull and Accommodations The Menger Cat 19 is a keelboat with a catboat rig, plumb stem, slightly angled transom, transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel and retractable centerboard. It displaces 2,900 lb (1,315 kg) and carries 600 lb (272 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.83 ft (0.56 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, or ground transportation on a trailer. The boat is fitted with a small Yanmar inboard diesel engine with a fuel tank that holds 12 U.S. gallons The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double “V”-berth in the bow cabin around a drop-leaf table that is attached to the centerboard trunk. Cabin headroom is 58 in (147 cm). The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 369 and a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h). The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel. A buyer should instruct his agents, or his surveyors, to investigate such details as the buyer desires validated. This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.
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)
Inboard Diesel engine available as an option.
A later version was called the THOM CAT 19.
