Chesapeake Light Craft (CLC) Skerry
This Skerry is easy to sail and row while offering timeless beauty! Carry weight is 95lbs, max payload 450lbs.
See the CLC website for all the details. The design combines elements of traditional working craft of the British Isles and Scandinavia, with a little bit of American Swampscott Dory thrown in. This synthesis of historic designs with CLC’s LapStitch construction method results in a beautiful hull with excellent performance under sail or oar. This John C. Harris design is that rarest of small boats that rows and sails with equal affinity. Sail when there’s wind, row when there’s not. You’ll cover the miles either way. The Skerry will take you for a relaxing afternoon sail, yet she has the capacity and performance to go beach cruising sailing or rowing by day and pulling up on a secluded beach each evening to camp. The Skerrys feather-light weight and shallow draft means that you can poke into quiet waters, pull the boat over a sandbar, and explore that hidden cove.
Equipment: Everything is in like new condition, well cared for and has beautiful fit and finishes for this size of a boat. The skerry has always been stored in an indoor temperature controlled climate. Comes with a full sailing rig, Spoonbill oars, dual rowing stations, bronze hardware, 2 each type IV floatation and will include a few other items for the boat. This Skerry will come with a Trailex trailer. Excellent value for what will be received!
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)
