Seller's Description

Standard features

2019 Precision 165

Features Magic Tilt Trailer in like new condition.

This is the last Precision 165 built by Precision Boat Works

Brand new Bimini in the box, never used

ACCOMMODATIONS:

The interior has two 6 ft. 8 in. quarter berths with cushions Backrest cushions with shelves There is a special place for an ice chest forward of the mast The Porta-Potti is a cleverly concealed under the cockpit Lots of room for storage. 12v electrical system with interior and navigation lights Fused switch panel and battery with box

Jim Taylor designed the precision 165 to provide the maximum performance and fun with low trailer weight and easy rigging. The cockpit is large and deep for comfort and security but the freeboard is kept low for reduced weight. The computer modeled keel has an end plate effect lead bulb for stability, efficiency to windward and shoal draft. The rig carries plenty of sail with a simple 3 stay rig for low weight and easy assembly. The hull shape combines a narrow entry angle for low resistance with an especially long effective sailing length for maximum speed. 110% jib and main in very good condition, having very light use. Electric Trolling motor provides ample power for lake use. Brand new Bimini in the box has never been used. This is the last Precision 165 made and looks like new. Lots of extra gear

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 5.23 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

8.01 knots
Classic formula: 5.23 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
25.6
>20: high 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.
25.56
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
35.5
<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

35.53
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
88.2
<100: Ultralight

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
88.15
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
5.0
<20: lightweight racing 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
4.99
<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
3.2
>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
3.24
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
