MISC -NEW LED LIGHTING AND WORING -NEW BILGE PUMPS -NEW WATER HEATER -NEW COUNTERTOPS IN GALLEY FULLY FITTED -NEW AFT CABIN MATTRESS - WOOD HAS BEEN HEAT GUN SCRAPPED AND RE OILED -HATCHWAY DOORS MADE WITH SEABOARD - FRAME FOR DODGER WAS JUST MADE WITH ALL THE MATERIALS IN CAPTAIN NAVY SUNBRELLA - I INSTALLED A NEW HARD TOP BIMINI, THE INTENTIONS WERE FOR TWO 350 WATT SOLAR PANELS -NEW BATTERIES. -NEW ROOFTOP A/C (NOT NORMAL BUT RECOMMENDED FOR LIVING ABOARD, MORE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT AND RUNS OFF OF 2000 WATT INVERTER)

BAD -NEEDS MACERATOR SOME WINDOWS PROBABLY NEED RESEALING -HAD A SPOT WHEN THE COUNTERS WERE INSTALLED TO FIT A COMPACT REFRIGERATOR (REFRIGERATOR WENT BAD 100 DOLLAR REPLACEMENT) -NEEDS JIB -THERE ARE A FEW MINOR REPAIRS I WILL TAKE CARE OF BEFORE SALE

Overall this boat has zero soft spots is water tight and is better shape than almost any Catalina 36 ive seen. I had a survey done after the overhaul at 37k. I am looking to sell this boat to someone that sincerely cares about sailing. I have had offers but from people that would neglect the boat or were insulting. Please lets not waste each others time.

Extra gear included

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.2 kn
Classic: 7.37 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

8.24 knots
Classic formula: 7.37 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.6
<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.
14.57
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.0
>40: stiffer, more 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

40.01
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
241.9
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
241.94
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
26.7
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
26.67
<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
1.9
<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
1.93
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Also available with a shallower draft wing keel and tall rig.
