Seller's Description
1978 32’ Islander 32 Mk II
Room for a couple or the whole family. Dont miss this clean boat! This is a roomy 32ft boat that is ready to go weekend sailing. There are five berths (6 with starboard settee folded out). It is suitable as a weekend retreat for a family or a couple for longer periods of time. This Islander 32 MK II (also known as Islander 32-2) has a 4 shoal draft keel which works great on the ICW and shallower waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The sails and rigging are in good condition. The main sail is brand new (November 2021). The genoa furls with a Harken furler. There is an asymmetric spinnaker, a spinnaker pole and a halyard rigged on the mast. Note there is currently not a head or a holding tank as we preferred to not deal with the smell of a holding tank. There is room for a holding tank and head and thru hulls to accommodate one. The stove has been converted from natural gas to propane fuel. The propane locker is mounted on the stern rail. A propane grill is also mounted on the opposite side of the stern. All lighting indoors and out are LED lights. Navigations lights are at the deck level as well as a tricolor light at the top of the mast. Sleep well with a 44 lb plow anchor attached to 90 of 516 G4 (hight test) chain plus 100 of 12 nylon rode. Yanmar diesel (3GM30F) fires up quickly with either starting or house battery. In October of 2019, the bottom was stripped to the gel coat and a barrier coat was applied. A hard red high copper bottom paint makes the base antifouling layer and is topped off with a blue multi-season ablative bottom paint (all Pettit products). She was moved to the Chesapeake Bay Area in January 2020 from a fresh water lake in SC. The bottom has been kept clean with diver. We have had many great adventures on Jus Chillin, family trips or on myself, any kind of weather and have enjoyed her so much, that I’m sure, you’ll enjoy it.

Calculations

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
- ?
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
- ?
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
- ?
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
- ?
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
