Seller's Description

The Sage 17 is the perfect pocket-cruiser! This is a one owner boat, sailed only on fresh water. (Owner is moving to the East Coast)

From the builder:

Hull and interior cabin liner are made with hand layed fiberglass using all vinylester resin. The deck, cabin roof and cockpit are made of carbon fiber and vinylester resin. Horizontal portions of the deck are non-skid and contain balsa core for added strength. This creates a rigid and light-weight structure. The cabin/deck structure is so strong that a compression post is not required.

Jerry Montgomery explains why carbon fiber is used for the deck - “Since the deck is well above the waterline, it’s anti-ballast. Saving 100 pounds in the deck (and we’ve saved more than that) eliminates the need for about 200 lbs of ballast to arrive at the same righting moment. Combined this saves at least 300 lbs of weight. It’s obvious what this does for performance and for trailering.” The transom is carbon fiber to reduce weight aft and keep Sage 17 on her lines. A boarding ladder and fixed height motor mount are standard. The hull deck joint is an outward flange that is chemically bonded and then through bolted on six inch centers. The joint is capped with a teak toe rail.

  • Length overall is 16’10”
  • Draft is 1’9” with centerboard up and 3”6” with centerboard down.
  • Ballast is 520 lbs. 400 lb keel, 120 lb centerboard (winched)
  • Fractional rig includes 98 sq ft mainsail (two reef points), working jib and genoa jib.

  • Full array of sail controls accessible in cockpit for single-handed sailing.
  • the 6’6” long cockpit seats up to four people, is self-draining, and has 3 storage lockers.
  • Bilge Pump -Built-in compass.
  • Cabin has V-berth with cushions, storage bins, two teak side seats, 4 ports, sliding main hatch, and opening forehatch.
  • 12V DC electrical system w/depth sounder.
  • Full navigation lights.

Equipment: - 2014 Pacific Deluxe trailer w/motor mount, spare tire, no-maintenance wheel bearings, and boarding ladder. - Custom on-trailer boat sunbrella cover. - 2014 Honda 2.3 HP Long shaft outboard. - accessories include tiller extension, tiller clutch, foam flotation in hull, swim ladder, Thetford porta-potti, Danforth anchor with chain/line, fenders, dock lines, and more.

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.8 kn
Classic: 5.29 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

6.82 knots
Classic formula: 5.29 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.4
>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.
20.41
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
9.2
<40: less stiff, less 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

9.15
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
153.4
100-200: light

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
153.43
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
9.8
<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
9.82
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.5
>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
2.48
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
