NAME : MAYALINDA MODEL : Cape Cod Knockabout, Lake George Fin Keel Version YEAR BUILT : 1935 LOA : 18′ Beam : 6′ Draft : 3′ 0 Displacement : 1500# (including 900 # lead ballast keel)
Builder : Cape Cod Shipbuilding Company
Designer : Charles S. Gurney
Location : Sarasota, Florida
MAYALINDA is a classic 1935 wooden sailboat that has undergone a recent (completed Fall, 2023) full restoration including a complete new centerline, new laminated white oak frames, new garboards, new deck planks and canvas deck. She is all bronze fastened and includes all original antique bronze hardware. Other than the garboards, all of the planking is original. The garboards came from another Cape Cod Knockabout of the same vintage that was acquired for parts during the restoration. The original transom was used in the restoration but with a white oak veneer laminated on the surface. The tiller, coaming and seating is original and all have received 10 coats of varnish. The original spars have received 12 coats of varnish. During the restoration, all of the bronze hardware was cleaned and stripped of paint that had built up over the years and then polished for a uniform finish that is now being allowed to weather to develop a rich patina. She come with 2 sets of sails. The tandem trailer has 4 new tires, 4 new hubs and bearings and new led lights and is included. The boat has a Florida title & registration & the trailer is registered in Florida. Although most of the Knockabouts built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding Company were centerboard boats, there were a small number built (records are sketchy and the exact number is uncertain) for Halls Boats in Lake George, New York. Halls sold them to the Lake George boating community & a one-design fleet held races on the lake for many years. It is believed that there are only 4 or 5 of these classics remaining.

8.4 kn
Classic: 5.27 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
35.2
>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.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
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
- Displacement/Length
-
78.2
<100: Ultralight
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
5.7
<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
- Capsize Screening
-
2.8
>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
Notes
Originally called the CAPE COD BABY KNOCKABOUT. Charles Gurney was the founder of Cape Cod Shipbuilding. Fiberglass construction was approved in 1960. Spinnakers were added in 1938. (150 sq. ft.). One of the most popular one-design classes in New England for many years.
A fixed keel, ‘Lake George’ version (sailed at Lake George, NY USA), was also built.
