Beats Working is a compact liveaboard that is ideally suited for sailing on Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie and is currently moored at Presque Isle State Park marina.
Equipment: Equipment included are a full bimini and dodger, Raymarine ST-1000 auto tiller, hot and cold pressurized water, very nice aftermarket cabinetry with lots of stowage and shore power. It’s powered by a Westerbeke 10-2 fuel efficient diesel engine and fairly new Mack Sails that are very easy to raise and douse. A 140% genny is on a flexible furler and the pair provide a very well balanced sailplan. The head is equipped with the large size Jabsco toilet, wash basin, medicine cabinet and a hanging locker.The V berth and the aft berth are more than adequate for my 6’2’ frame. The retractable dining table opens to accommodates diners from both sides. The galley has a single sink, ice box, alcohol stove and a microwave. A shoal wing keel provides access to thinner waters that other sailboats fear to enter. Also included are screens, a cradle, VHF radio, dock lines, fenders,cockpit cushions and table, TV and disk player.
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)
An inboard engine (gas or diesel) was available as an option.
