Seller's Description

Brigadoon III has been well cared for by its owners through regular maintenance such as oil and filter changes as well as pro-active replacement of worn items. In addition, many upgrades have been provided throughout its ownership, as noted above. SAILING HISTORY The yacht is one of (55) Saga 43s designed by Robert Perry and built by Saga Yachts in Saint Catherines Ontario. It was immediately exported to the US where the first owner sailed it for a period before selling it to its second owners who moored it in Chesapeake Bay where the boat saw limited use since the owners lived in Pennsylvania. After purchasing the yacht in 2011, we undertook extensive upgrading and then sailed it to Puerto Rico in 2013. For several months each winter, we sailed the throughout the Caribbean, storing the boat on land for the remainder of each year in either Puerto Rico or Antigua. After five winters in the Caribbean, we sailed back to Annapolis MD via Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. In 2019 the boat was transported by truck from Annapolis to Anacortes, WA, where it was re-rigged and the hull and topsides were painted with Awlgrip. We kept the boat for a short period of time in Blaine, WA before importing it into British Columbia, Canada. Canadian taxes were paid at that time. In August, 2023 we departed Vancouver and sailed south through the US, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The boat is currently moored at Club De Pesca marina in Cartagena, Colombia.

Calculations

Hull Speed
10.8 kn
Classic: 8.36 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

10.84 knots
Classic formula: 8.36 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.8
>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.
20.78
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
39.3
<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

39.31
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
150.4
100-200: light

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
150.36
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
27.6
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
27.63
<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
1.8
<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
1.77
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Shoal draft version: 5.25’.
