This 1981 Tartan T42, Receta, boasts a distinguished pedigree with unmistakable lines that proudly bear the signature of Sparkman & Stephens’ renowned design expertise. Beyond her aesthetic charm, Receta exceeds expectations offshore. Her helm is beautifully balanced, providing responsive and enjoyable sailing. With a Scheel keel, 5’ draft, a .43 ballast/displacement ratio, a theoretical hull speed of 7.58 knots, and a sail plan ready for any sea conditions, Receta effortlessly handles bluewater passages and coastal cruising alike. Comfortably accommodating six for dinner or underway, the thoughtfully designed cockpit is also an excellent layout for short or single-handed sailing.
Below deck, Receta offers a haven of comfort and tranquility. The interior has been thoughtfully customized by her owner to accommodate a cruising lifestyle. The updates were designed and executed to seamlessly blend with the original interior style and color, featuring a number of customizations using beautiful teak details. Generous headroom and ample storage throughout the vessel, complemented by plenty of airflow facilitated through large hatches and numerous opening ports, enhance overall comfort on the hook. Whether on a passage or comfortably anchored in paradise, Receta’s performance and stability make your cruising experience a joy.

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)
