Seller's Description

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).

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.8 kn
Classic: 5.76 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

6.79 knots
Classic formula: 5.76 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
21.3
>20: high performance

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.
21.25
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
20.7
<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

20.68
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
204.3
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
204.28
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
14.9
<20: lightweight racing 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
14.94
<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
2.3
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.25
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Inboard Diesel engine available as an option.
A later version was called the THOM CAT 19.
