Seller's Description

Just Listed! Having sailed the world Northern Pearl has returned to her home port in Vancouver and is ready for her next owner. December 2024 survey available. More photo, videos and inventory list to come. ​ Designed by Douglas B Peterson and built by Baltic Yachts in Finland. These Baltics are made to go the distance.

Northern Pearl” is a mast head rigged sloop, fin displacement keel monohull sailing vessel with aft closed cockpit, wheel steering, cockpit equipment lockers and center hatch access to the interior spaces that is covered with a stainless-steel tube frame Bimini and canvas dodger, the decks are an open plan camber side deck, low profile raised coach roof and open foredeck with all necessary sail control equipment.

The interior is a single level open plan arrangement with midships saloon, midships port side galley, aft nav station and port and stbd seating on either side of a central table arrangement, the accommodation arrangement consists of a fwd v-berth and with aft double bunk cabin with port side heads arrangement.

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.3 kn
Classic: 7.86 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

9.31 knots
Classic formula: 7.86 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
19.4
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.
19.35
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
43.8
>40: stiffer, more 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

43.81
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
201.5
200-300: moderate

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
201.5
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
24.5
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
24.47
<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
2.0
>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
2.02
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Prototype was ‘Big Shadow’, and similar to the slightly larger Peterson design #77, ‘Lousiana Crude’/SERENDIPITY 43.
Rig Dimensions for Tall Mast version:
I: 57.50’
J: 17.68’
P: 51.00’
E: 15.00’
Keel/CB version exists.
