Seller's Description

Standard features

Contact Norman at SixOneSeven-SixSevenEight-FourTwoEightSix

Boat is located in Harwich, Massachusetts.

Aphrodite 101, 1984 fractionally rigged racing sloop.

Built in Denmark to a design by Paul Elvstrom and Jan Kjaerluff. 32.5 ft by 8 ft by 5.75 ft.

Mass Bay PHRF 144.

Many details about the type are at https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/aphrodite-101 .

We sailed out of Boston for years doing many fleet races and double handed distance races.

Many trophies demonstrate the boat is competitive.

Often cruised to Maine and Rhode Island en-route to/from regattas.

The headroom is 4.5 ft only.

Small and fast.

Two suits of sails, dacron cruising and carbon racing including three kites, one racing and two cruising.

Rebuilt two years ago Yanmar 1GM.

New running rigging this year.

Standing rigging replaced 10 years ago.

Bottom stripped and epoxy barrier coated two years ago.

Interior refurbished recently, continuing.

Everything goes with the boat, anchors, safety gear, misc equipment.

Call and ask for a list on inventory and a picture collection.

Reason for selling is that we live on Cape Cod where the water is too shallow and the racing too far away.

We have hardly used the boat for six years and for three years she was in dry storage.

You should sail her!

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.9 kn
Classic: 6.87 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

8.86 knots
Classic formula: 6.87 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.7
>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.
20.73
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
57.1
>40: stiffer, more 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

57.07
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
152.4
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
152.41
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
21.4
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
21.43
<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
1.7
<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
1.72
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

First boats were built by Langeland Yacht Service. Later Bianca Yachts built some 360 APHRODITE 101’’s up until the late eighties. Some of these were exported to other european countries, and a few to the US.
Also known as BIANCA 101.
