In 2011 this boat was listed for $40,000. After negotiations, I bought it for $25,000 in Marblehead, MA. Improvements since purchase: $5000 (September 2021) brand new custom designed 145% Genoa and mainsail and mainsail cover. $2800. (July 2018) brand new custom designed floorboards never used yet, stored in my temperature and humidity-controlled cellar $2200 (2019) new salon cushions covered with Sunbrella fabric $1418 (2018) new Garmin GPSmap 943SX chart plotter $320 (2021) a more powerful external GPS antenna $200 (2018) a new pedestal/binnacle guard for Garmin GPSmap and additional instruments. $277 (2017) new dripless stuffing box $200 (2019) new toilet $200 (2019) engine noise reduction kit $300 (2022) installed anti Cormorant spikes on the spreaders two anchors Sail plan: mainsail with sail-pack and 150% genoa. These two sails came with my purchase of the boat in 2011 and are still in good condition and perfectly fine for day sailing/cruising. Additionally, custom-designed new mail sail and 145% genoa are better for racing. Probably add about one knot upwind speed. $37,915 invested to date.
Equipment: I have a list of suggested improvements. 1) pull shaft and check true, replace or repair Dripless stuffing box, cutlas, motor mounts, transmission gasket, control cables. 2) replace topping lift 3) replace broken clutch levers 4) repair life rails 5) paint bottom and hull 6) add engine hours timer, oil pressure and temperature guages 7) replace window port gaskets 8) repack and tape mast deck interface

Calculations
- Hull Speed

7.8 kn
Classic: 6.76 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
18.5
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
-
43.0
>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
- Displacement/Length
-
217.3
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
20.7
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
- Capsize Screening
-
2.1
>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
