Seller's Description

This is an old, bulletproof, full keel, 7-ton sloop. It is tough and seaworthy. Has a 2000 Universal 3 cylinder Diesel engine, 25 horsepower, that runs like a watch. CQR anchor with 200ft of all chain rode and electric windlass. The standing and running rigging are in ok shape as is the main and both jibs. We just bought a brand new Schaffer roller reefing system but it is not installed. Has a TP32 Simrad tiller pilot that works great. There is one 12 volt deep cycle battery and a 45-watt solar panel plus a charge controller. Has a Lewmar electric windless for the anchor, with all galvanized chain. Has a pressure water system, sink, and a gimbaled 2 burner stove and oven. The galley is mostly outfitted with pots, pans, plates, etc. Working head plumbed overboard. There is a not plumbed small holding tank.

As with any older boat, this one has cosmetic issues. It needs the topsides repainted, and the interior ceiling project is only partly completed. But the hull is rock solid as is the deck. The dec is sold fiberglass so no soft spots or any other issues. She is ready for sailing trips.

My dad, myself, and friends have cruised across to Bahia Conception and up to San Pedro Bay, and out to San Pedro Island, and we have spent many nights at anchor in various little coves and inlets. Were selling it because we bought a bigger boat.

If you’re looking for a good sailboat to get started with this is it.

Calculations

Hull Speed
5.6 kn
Classic: 6.29 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

5.6 knots
Classic formula: 6.29 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
12.9
<16: under powered

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.
12.94
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
41.7
>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

41.67
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
502.1
>350: ultraheavy

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
502.11
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
40.2
40-50: heavy bluewater 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
40.24
<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
1.6
<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
1.57
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Sloop version available with tall rig.
A yawl conversion kit was available including bowsprit.
A few pilot house versions were built. (36).
