KAILANI was designed by the people who literally wrote the book on Offshore Cruising, Steve and Linda Dashew. Deerfoots are considered by many to be the finest shorthanded cruising yachts afloat. The Dashew concept of a long range cruiser that is fast, comfortable and easily sailed by a couple is perfectly embodied in the Deerfoot 63, KAILANI. She was built by Salthouse Brothers in New Zealand to the highest standards, and she will impress all who step aboard. She has safely carried her owners and family nearly twice around the world in comfort. The owners are moving to power for a couple of years with their new boat on the way and KAILANI is seriously for sale. Highly Recommended.
Equipment: The Deerfoot 63 was the last design in the Deerfoot series and incorporates the best of its forebears. Details like her plumb bow, long waterline, watertight bulkheads, integrated water tank in the keel, sea chest, and balanced rudder were radical departures from the idea of what a cruising boat should be. Those details have proven to be winners and many builders have adapted those concepts into their designs with plumb bows and sugar scoops the norm thanks to the success of the Deerfoot concept. The Dashews also recognized that repairs and preventative maintenance are an integral part of the cruising life and intentionally designed the Deerfoot to segregate the machinery in a purpose-designed space aft behind a watertight bulkhead. Here you will find the main, the generator, most of the pumps and the refrigerator and HVAC compressors, all arranged with easy access. The design puts a premium on safety with subtle features such as a sturdy stainless steel pulpit completely surrounding the cockpit, three lifelines forward of the mast, slightly canted outboard decks so that the high side is level on a heel in a sea way, an unencumbered run for the jacklines from the cockpit to the bow pulpit and decks painted in reflective material. The deep spade rudder has a lower sacrificial break away section that leaves sufficient rudder area to continue to steer following a collision.

Calculations

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
- Sail Area/Displacement
- ?
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
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
- Displacement/Length
- ?
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
- Comfort Ratio
- ?
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
- Capsize Screening
- ?
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
