This 1985 Jeanneau Arcadia is a perfect day sailing boat with a reliable engine for fun on the bay. There are some upgrades to do, but she can be blue water if that is your goal. This is a bargain Jeanneau and depending on your goals it could be perfect for you because usually you have to spend a lot more than this. Decks are good.
It has all the beautiful wood below, modern design features, self tailing winches, good family size, a swing keel, and nicely done paint trim. I like that for 29 feet it has tiller steering and a large cockpit for entertaining, the engine is whisper quiet, and the hull is very sound with a matrixed, encapsulated keel. The lifting keel is ideal for the Chesapeake 4’7” in up position. The boat is light and performs quite well for a cruiser.
Reason for the sale is that I have moved up in size and to the power side of things. I am looking to focus on that new project and sell a sail boat. This one will not last. If not this one, ask me about a similar boat I have for sale.
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)
Based on SUN FAST, 1/2 ton racer, prototype.
Keel/cb version was also available.
Draft (max.) 6.50’ / 1.98m
Draft (min.) 3.58’ / 1.09m
Displacement: 6835 lbs./ 3100 kgs.
Ballast: 2912 lbs. / 1321 kgs.
Reintroduced as SUN DREAM 28 (1987).
Later became SUN WAY 28 which was built until 1992.
Of all versions, it is thought that more than 800 were built.
