Seller's Description
Chrysler 13’ Pirateer Sportsman Galvanized Trailer Price: $1,300 OBO
You are looking at a great family sail boat. My family and I have greatly enjoyed this delightful, stable and forgiving little vessel since we bought it in 2001. I am unsure of the year of the boat. The sportsman galvanized trailer was bought separately new in 2001. The boat and trailer are in good condition. We rigged it in our driveway prior to listing it to make sure tha it is ready to sail. The trailer was registered in Texas. We have the documentation, but it is not current as we have not used the boat in a while. The boat and trailer are located in Katy, Texas and will need to be picked up. This item is not available for delivery.
Description from an advertising brochure on the boat below:
The Chrysler’s 13’planing-hull sailing boat is portably light in weight, yet safe, stable and forgiving for beginners–a great trainer, a family fun boat, or a winning challenger for experienced sailors. Handsome, wide-open and beamy with a powerful bow, she has foam flotation in hull and deck for safety. She’ll hold 3 people with ease. Her sloop rig mainsail, jib and optional spinnaker is easy to handle and enables her to walk away from other boats of her type, even in the lightest of breezes. If knocked down, she’s easily righted by a single handler. She’s practically maintenance free with her smooth fiberglass hull, textured anti-skid surfaces and corrosion resistant rigging, hardware and fittings. Her design and style give her the look of bigger boats. Standard: Dacron mainsail, jib, halyards and sheets. Jib sheet cleats recessed into seats for convenience and comfort. Anodized aluminum mast and boom with built-in foam flotation. Hinged mast step for quick, easy rigging and unrigging. Kick-up rudder. Wooden locking daggerboard. Hiking stick on tiller. Textures, skid resistant surfaces. Mold-in seats. Stainless steel standing rigging. Husky bow and stern eyes. Smooth fiberglass inner hull liner. Provision for an ice box in the stern. Foam hull flotation. Transom drains.

Calculations

6.4 kn
Classic: 4.68 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
-
22.8
>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
-
123.9
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
6.4
<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
