1992 Beneteau First 310, Tall Rig, Americas Cup Addition, Wing Keel (Shoal Draft). The Beneteau First 310 is a popular, fast, family cruiser with a clear deck layout and has a comfortable living space featuring two cabins and a salon. The boat has a custom Sunbrella cover for storage with mast up or down. She is a Great Lakes boat purchased in Ohio and trailered on a custom-built Aluminum trailer to Colorado for mountain lake sailing. The owner, a craftsman who took great pride in the condition of his boat and enjoyed working on the boat as much as sailing the boat, put her in his shop to customize and modernize all the systems. This 30-year-old boat is virtually in new condition. A refrigerator and microwave were built in. An aluminum arch supporting high output solar panels, and davits to carry an inflatable dingy (not included) were fabricated and installed. Solar and shore charging systems with multiple batteries support all the boats systems. You will not find a better equipped or cosmetically perfect Beneteau on the water. The original Volvo diesel engine looks and runs like new and probably has been run less than 200 hours. This is an amazing boat that has been sailed very little and has been pampered by her skipper. He equipped this small racing/cruiser with all the features of a much larger yacht to make her comfortable and fast. The boat followed its owner from Colorado to Hernando Beach Florida in 2020. The boat is now located in Florida and is docked at a friend of the owner, who cares for the boat as if it was his own. The boat is loaded on her trailer in the summer months to protect her from weather and to prep her for the better sailing conditions in Florida’s fall and winter. This boat is 30 years young and must be seen and sailed to truly appreciate her. There is an large array of sails… nearly new radial cuts to ok Dacron cruising sails. The boat comes with a custom-built dual axle, aluminum trailer that is also in excellent condition. This unique First 310 with the 8900# GVW trailer is priced at $45,000.
Equipment: The owner recently lost his battle with cancer. I am a friend helping to market the boat. This boat has too many upgrades to list and the unique history of the boat makes it impossible to describe in an ad. There are also many more photos showing the awesome condition of this one of a kind sailboat. If you call me at 303-697-3777 and express genuine interest I will forward a link to many more photos.
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)
Offered with a number of different keel and rig combinations.
