Flying Scot completely restored and repainted at Marine Evolutions in Lorton VA in 2020 Nothing regarding the hull needed repairs. The entire hull is solid and 100% original. Hull # GDBO3434L192 Built in 1992 by Flying Scot Inc White deck, mahogany centerboard cap Mounted compass North main, jib, and spinnaker sails, and tackle, all in good condition. Roller furling jib with furling hardware Blue tent, style, cockpit cover The boat wasn’t damaged or anything when I bought it – just old. “As is” I sailed it for a few great years, but by 2020 it needed restoration. If you want to know the details of Marine Evolutions’ work, send me an email. I’ll send you the 3-page invoice. If you want to know the boat’s history, go to: https://boathistoryreport.com/report/EmROm/ Why am I selling? I’m 79, and a back problem prevents the single-hand sailing that I love most. Curious about the name? “Shukuru” means “Thank you” in Swahili. I once chaired the board of a large Tanzanian wildlife conservation company for 8 years. Love all things East African.
Equipment: Roller furling jib with furling hardware Anchor, bumpers, boat hooks, paddles, etc. 2020 Mercury 4-Stroke Series 2.5MH rarely used 2000 Trailer rarely used
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)
