Since purchasing Liberty we have made a number of upgrades, including new bimini and dodger (2018), new cutless bearing (2018), new 125% genoa from Quantum Sails Annapolis (2019), new asymmetrical spinnaker, entirely new Raymarine EV-200 Autopilot (2018), new sailing instruments (depth, wind, etc.). Liberty is a unique design. Originally available in two or three cabin layouts, she is the two cabin version, which leaves room for a panty/storage locker to starboard, aft of the galley, as well as a huge lazarette on the starboard side of the cockpit. We use this space for fender, lines, scuba tanks, etc., and when the gear is removed there is easy access to the fuel tank, Racor filter, steering quadrant, and autopilot linear drive. The deck salon layout gives plenty of light in the cabin as well as ample storage. Because one of the water tanks is moved aft near the keel, Liberty is quick to answer the helm and turns on a dime, a much sportier performance than one might expect of a family cruising boat. He most unique feature is the helm layout. Rather than have the wheel mounted on a pedestal aft in the cockpit, it is mounted to the bulkhead just starboard of the companionway, similar to a catamaran or a motor sailer. While some might be skeptical as to the utility of this layout, I have actually come to enjoy it. The electronics are all mounted in the bulkhead in front of the helm; the helmsman is protected from the weather; the controls for the main sheet, spinnaker halyard, furling lines, and traveler are all close at hand, as are the jib sheets. This layout also allows for an open and uncluttered cockpit, and it is one of the design features of this boat that I will miss.

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)
Deep keel: 2.3m/7.54’
