Seller's Description

CABO RICO 34, HULL #4, ORIGINAL OWNER

Year L.O.A. L.O.D. Beam Draft Price 1989 37 34 112 410 $85000

Now at age 97, I have decided that this beautiful boat Tradewind should have a younger hand at the helm. Bought new and treated ever since with personal and professional care, she has carried me safely around the world, often solo, calling at over 100 foreign ports, crossing the Atlantic four times, and in fresh water for the last 13 years, now in Bristol fashion on Pickwick Lake, TN accessible with mast up to the Gulf of Mexico via the Tenn-Tom Waterway. Cabo Rico yachts are admired and ranked widely among the most seaworthy, beautiful and finest blue water cruising sailboats anywhere in the world. In fact, my survival in Tradewind through tropical storm Lisa in the Coral Sea was commented on specifically in Volume II, page 34 of The Worlds Best Sailboats, Ferenc Mates cherished and most respected illustrated sailing book of all times. Following are current photos, abbreviated specifications, and selected equipment upgrades. More information including detailed alphabetical listing of all equipment included in the sale is available by searching Cabo Rico 34 Specifications on the internet or by calling or texting owner Leo Ramer at (901)-378-2113.

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.8 kn
Classic: 6.92 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

6.81 knots
Classic formula: 6.92 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
19.2
16-20: good 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.
19.17
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
37.4
<40: less stiff, less powerful

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

37.42
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
364.7
>350: ultraheavy

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
364.65
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
33.8
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising 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
33.83
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.76
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
