1979 Ted Brewer Lazy Jack 32 Schooner

Listed

Seller's Description

A rare find, Unforgettable is a classic Ted Brewer Lazy Jack schooner, meticulously restored with $60,000 in upgrades, making her a turnkey vessel for coastal cruising or liveaboard life. Built in 1979 by Ted Hermann Boatshop, she is hull #27 of only 35 ever built, giving her a unique pedigree and a place in sailing history.

Her fiberglass hull ensures durability, while her traditional schooner rig offers a timeless aesthetic with modern ease of handling. The Yanmar 28HP diesel provides a 190-250 NM range, making her efficient under power. New wiring, plumbing, and electronics bring this classic vessel into the modern era, while updated cabinetry, cushions, and a Dometic A/C system make her comfortable for extended stays aboard.

For sailing enthusiasts, Unforgettable comes with a new jib (2024) and new foresail (2023) from Quantum Sails, a 130% roller-furled genoa, and a well-maintained Marconi mainsail, giving her a versatile and efficient sail plan. The two Lewmar winches (2023) add to the ease of sail handling, and her stainless steel standing rigging is in solid condition.

With spacious accommodations for four, a manual foot-pump freshwater system, and a composting head, shes designed for simplicity, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. Whether youre dreaming of cruising the coast, living aboard, or owning a head-turning classic schooner, Unforgettable is ready to set sail.

A rare, fully restored schooner at an unbeatable price, she offers historic charm, modern reliability, and adventure-ready performanceperfect for the next passionate owner. Step aboard and make her yours today!

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.2 kn
Classic: 6.53 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

6.17 knots
Classic formula: 6.53 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.2
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.
16.16
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
32.0
<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

31.99
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
416.4
>400: very heavy

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
416.39
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
31.0
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
31.03
<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
1.9
<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
1.85
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The first 32 LAZYJACK’s were built by Ted Hermann in LI, NY (USA). Of these, a number were sold in kit form.
