Seller's Description

Wellcraft Starwind 19, 1982, Miami Springs, South Florida 1982 19 Ft Wellcraft Starwind 19 Sailboat This is a Jim Taylor design, same as a Precision 18, only 1 foot longer.

Sails are in new condition.

Includes a trailer. Trailerable “Pocket Yacht” Weighs 1350 lbs. 18 inches draft with an easily raised and lowered fiberglass centerboard Lewmar winches Ready to go sailing. Asking $1700.

The following info is from the 1982 sales brochure;

The Starwind 19 was designed naval architect Jim Taylor to have all the virtues of a larger boat while remaining affordable and easily trailered by today’s smaller cars. Conceived as a weekender for four people, the Starwind 19 has quickly become a bestseller. Complete and ready for cruising, she is designed with a shoal-draft, ballasted keel and centerboard. her interior has a galleynodule, a large V-berth foward, settee berths port and starboard, an oversized companionway and a large opening foward hatch. On-deck features include an anchor locker, and the cockpit is spacious and comfortable. Before buying any 19 to 25 foot sailboat you owe it to yourself to see the remarkable Starwind 19. This is a very good example of a trailerable “Pocket Yacht” I’m in Miami Springs, South Florida or phone 305-781-two three five six

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.7 kn
Classic: 5.29 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

6.74 knots
Classic formula: 5.29 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
19.9
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.
19.92
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
29.3
<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

29.25
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
159.2
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
159.15
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
8.6
<20: lightweight racing 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
8.57
<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
2.7
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.72
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Starwind was a division of Wellcraft Marine. (USA)
When Wellcraft left the sailboat business, the molds were sold to another builder and few more boats were built and sold as the STARWIND 190, and later still, the SPINDRIFT 19.
