This is a 1980 44 F&C Ketch sailboat. The boat is designed by German Frers. It is a moderate weight sailboat that is a reasonably good performer.
It has a monohull fin keel with a rudder on the skeg. A rare yacht built in Argentina by Frers and Cibils. Lovely lines, rich wood interior, and great sailing characteristics. This sailboat is best suited for bluewater cruising. Only 60 of these sailboats have ever been built.
Helm area companionway leads down to a navigators cabin (as well as main cabin) with large berths on port and starboard
Forward of the main helm area is a second companionway that leads to the galley to port and Nav station to starboard. Forward of the galley on port side is a very large dining settee that converts to a large double, and across to starboard are over and under pilot berths.
Beyond the main salon to port is a head, sink, and shower, with storage across to the starboard side.
Big powerful offshore ketch, German Frers designed originally for his father, beautiful lines with tumblehome, pretty overhangs, and versatile ketch rig.
Companionways at the cockpit and forward at the main salon. Definitely an offshore capable vessel, but easily weekend cruised and day sailed.
Included are three spinnakers and all of the hardware associated also a storm and a regular mainsail and 4 jibs
Very pretty lines and a head turner where ever she goes. “All new stainless standing rigging “
Engine electrical rebuild at purchase five years ago moral Bay boat yard rewired primary starting system, double lot starting cables, new relocating starter button close to starter, rework primary electric panel to isolate starter power. The Generator was totally rebuilt at purchase five years ago.
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)
