Opportunity of a Lifetime -PRIVATELY OWN A NAVY 44
ONE OF ONLY 20 COMMISSIONED FOR US NAVY GLOBAL SAILING
CALL FOR MORE DETAILS 970 319 6408
This is the famous “BOLD,” one of only 20 third generation McCurdy and Rhodes designed MK1 Tillotson Pearson Yachts built for the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland. These vessels were built for constant offshore sailing for twenty years of use training US Naval Officers in their required offshore sailing training. The third fleet was retired and sold at auction when the 4th fleet was launched, also McCurdy and Rhodes designed and also built by Tillotson Pearson to US military design parameters. These are probably the most rugged and graceful fiberglass cruising yachts ever constructed in the history of yachtbuilding. Go Figure. I’m not sure how many millions of dollars of US taxpayer money was spent to build and equip each hull, but you can imagine that no expense or detail was spared. This one was purchased pretty much in exactly the same condition that it is for sale now after it was de-commissioned by the US Navy along with the other 23 sisterships. It sold at the time for $55,000. She is spartan as she floats now, but it could be turned into an incredibly durable and graceful global cruiser with a bit of new owner love and adding a few more of the comforts of home. The motor is good, serviced regularly by the US Navy but the galley stove and toilet and two primary winches were removed prior to government auction. Otherwise the boat is ready to sail with a few new lines, fresh batteries and a new starter etc. Priced this month only at the incredible opportunity price of only $37,000. Owner financing might possibly be available with $10,000 deposit.
Equipment: Below are links to articles about the development of the 4th Generation Navy 44 fleet from the experiences of the 3rd generation Navy 44 fleet.

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)
A refinement of the SOU’WESTER 42 (1982).
