s/v Righting Moment is a fast and capable racer/cruiser, with a long list of recent upgrades. Over the past year and a half I have sailed 8,500 NM on her, and safely completed several solo offshore passages: including a 12-day, 1450 NM passage from Beaufort to St Martin in November 2023.
Shes well-equipped for living aboard, and all mechanical systems are working well for those who want to sail fast and/or far. I completed a long list of projects myself, and while far from bristol condition, she is safe and ready to set sail again.
A more complete listing of projects completed: Replaced all sails (2023/2024) All new wind/depth/speed instruments (2022/2023) Installed primary and backup autopilot systems (2023) New nonskid (2023) Rebedded stanchions (2023) Replaced lifelines (2024) Installed wire conduit in mast (2023) Installed lazy jacks (2023) Installed bow roller (2023) Installed hard-points on deck for jacklines (2023) Re-cored deck at the bow (2023) Installed 4 opening portlights (2022) Resealed deadlights (2022) Resealed hatches and added eyebrow to forward hatch (keeps green water out away from the hatch seal) (2023) Sealed mast boot (2023) Services all winches (annual) Added Victron solar system (2023) Added vented LPG locker (2023) Replaced teak hand-rails with stainless steel (2022) Replaced all running rigging (2023) New upholstery and foam in V-berth (2023) Replaced all cabin lighting with LED (2022) Added 12V RV fridge (2023) Installed closed cell insulation below the waterline in storage lockers (2022)

Electronics and Navigation Equipment -VHF, Standard Horizon, year unknown. -Wind, Mast-head windex, and Raymarine I60 (2023) -Depth, Raymarine I50 (2023) -Speed, Raymarine I50 (2023) -Autopilot, Raymarine EV-100 (2023) -Autopilot 2, Raymarine ST2000 (2023) -Compass, 2 -Stereo, 2 speakers in cabin, 2 speakers in cockpit. -Navigation Lights, LED -Steaming Light, Incandescent -Anchor Light, Incandescent -Spreader Lights, LED -All-new masthead wiring and electronic instruments. Installed 2 dedicated wiring conduits to spreaders and masthead.
Electrical System -440W of solar. House and start bank isolated through a Blue Sea ACR (combines battery banks when charging, isolates them when discharging). 500W Victron inverter is wired to the boat AC panel through a selector switch, delivering AC power to all onboard outlets. -Start Bank, 1 Flooded Lead-Acid, 65 AH. -House Bank, 3 Sealed Lead-Acid, 360AH. -Battery Monitor, Victron BMV-712 -Solar, 2x220 W solar panels, 2x Victron 15A MPPT Controllers -Alternator, Stock, 30A -Inverter, Victron 500W - wired into boat AC panel -Shore Power, Yes -AC Battery Charger, West Marine 10A charger.
Sails and Rigging -Replaced all sails in 2023/2024 with quality refurbished ones. None are new, but all have good shape and lots of life left in them. Halyards and reefing lines at mast, sheets, spinnaker halyard, and topping lift led to cockpit. -Main Sail, Fully battened, 3-reef points. Professionally cut down and restitched from a larger boat in 2024. Lots of life left, requires some patches where the spreader lights have worn through the cloth.

Purchased used & in fair condition from Bacon Sails in 2024. Sewn-on UV strip. Approx 10 oz. cloth. -Spinnaker, Symmetrical spinnaker, fair condition. May require some patches. Spinnaker Hardware Spinnaker pole mounted on-deck. Mast, Single-spreader rig Standing Rigging, Unknown age. Oversized and in good working condition.

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)
The 10M came with several different engine installations. Most were powered by the Atomic Four gas engine. Diesels were optional with a Faryman 25hp in 75, a Westerbeake 20hp diesel in 76. the Faryman again in 77, and a Volvo 23hp (MD11) from 78-80.
