Sail Area
IJPE : 517.50 sq ft I : 41.50 ft J : 12.75 ft P : 36.00 ft E : 14.00 ft Working Sail Area : 542.00 sq ftManufacturer Provided Description Enjoy comfortable and exhilarating sailing on a PDQ 36 Capella, formerly the PDQ 36 MkIII. PDQ stands for Performance, Dependability, and Quality. The superb design creates a stunning, airy interior offering privacy, a gracious entertaining area, and two luxurious staterooms complete with queen-size beds. She is the ideal size for singlehanding, perfect for family cruising, or two couples on a holiday. Every PDQ is hand-crafted with custom-fitted cabinetry, incorporating the finest cherry veneers, teak accents and three coats of varnish throughout. The saloon table is optionally offered as a convertible table-bed for additional sleeping space. The PDQ 36 Capella is constructed of the highest grade, 100 per cent vinylester resins, biaxial knitted fabrics with Klegecell coring fused together under vacuum pressure. The yacht is built with tremendous structural integrity, designed for severe sea conditions. She has six watertight flotation tanks fore and aft offering unparalleled buoyancy and safety. All sheets, halyards, and reefing lines lead to the protected cockpit, for ease of handling. A PDQ will sit upright on her keels and rudders for convenient storage, a bottom scrub, or beaching. The interior space equals a 45-foot monohull, while speeds can match a 65 footer. The fine hulls slice through the water with refined smoothness, making an easy 200 miles per day. Reach destinations faster than ever before, enjoy the near absence of heeling, feel the confidence of great stability no matter how fast she’s sailing. With the Capella series, the PDQ has evolved into three different models for three different sailing agendas. The Mark III Classic has been improved with the new panorama windows, Euro-styled galley, and the cherry interior. The PDQ 36 LRC (Long Range Cruiser) is designed for long distance voyaging. From skeg rudder protection to heavy-duty rig, the LRC is rugged, fast and functional. The LRC features powerful double diesels, increased storage and tankage, safety bars at the mast, davits for the dingy, and much more. With the addition of our flexible aft cabin layouts (office, workshop, berths, or storage) this is the ultimate boat for our true bluewater adventurers. The PDQ 36 Mk II S-C (Sports-Cruiser) was designed for the performance sailor. The efficient tear drop rotating mast with diamond spreader system, powerful sail plan, and decreased weight all add up to an extremely fast, quick-tacking, sailing experience. Many of our owners offset their expenses by keeping their PDQ’s in charter fleets in Florida, the Caribbean, Hilton Head, and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. By combining personal cruising in desirable locations, with income from established charter firms, the cost of acquiring a PDQ can be greatly reduced.
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)
A racier model with a taller, fractional rig was also available.
The MK II Classic (shown above) and Mark II LRC (Long Range Cruiser), were introduced in 1994. The LRC came with inboard 18- or 27-horsepower diesel saildrive engines instead of outboards. Other changes in the Mark II LRC included increased tankage, beefier standing rigging and safety bars at the mast.
The Mark III, introduced in 1998, continued with the Classic and LRC distinctions. The most noteworthy feature of the Mark III was the popular optional hard-top bimini. Later on, the mainsheet traveler was moved to the top of the hard-top.
