Seller's Description

The MacGregor 65-1 was originally designed specifically for the Trans Pacific Race (Transpac). The boat is powered by a Pathfinder In Line 6 Cylinder, 85 HP diesel engine with dedicated fire protection in the engine compartment, and another fire extinguisher in the salon area.

The vessel is equipped with a GPS chart-plotter at the nav station with a repeater at the helm, VHF radio with AIS receiving and a remote mic at the helm, a RayMarine RL80C color radar station, and radar repeater.

The port and starboard mid-ship and forward berths, a large V-berth with an after-market hatch above, and a double aft berth allow 8 to sleep comfortably onboard. The single head has a toilet with push-button macerator, a sink, and a shower with a tub.

There is a main 12V panel, 2 auxiliary 12V panels, a battery switch, and battery charger.

The galley features a 3-burner gimbal stove with oven, a sink, and a small refrigerator/freezer (needs compressor).

Calculations

Hull Speed
20.9 kn
Classic: 10.64 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

20.93 knots
Classic formula: 10.64 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
34.2
>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.
34.16
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.9
>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

40.91
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
39.3
<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
39.29
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
20.1
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
20.1
<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
1.67
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

This, the first, more racing/performance oriented version of the MACGREGOR 65 sold well considering it’s size. The later, pilot house version, was even more popular, with over 70 sold.
