ARCTIC READY EXPEDITION Sailboat for sale!
Hull was professionally built by Chantier Brument, Boissy LAillerie, France.
Designed and built in 1993 specifically for polar work, she has safely voyaged in high latitudes, both in the Arctic and the Antarctic. Her steel hull and full complement of modern navigation and telecommunications gear make her a tough, reliable, and safe platform for just about anything. She is an expedition craft, tough and functional but comfortable.
Decks are stainless steel - a rare find on steel boats!
47 foot Caroff Super Disko Expedition Steel Sailboat - $195,000 USD
Currently located/sailing in/around Canadian Maritimes - North Atlantic (Nova Scotia - Cape Breton region)
Up for sale is an eco friendly expedition sailboat that has proven herself in the harshest of latitudes. The Super Disko is a Gilbert Caroff vessel designed to go anywhere in the world - especially high latitude sailing. This is truly a go anywhere sailboat. She has gone through a massive refit in 2022 and was re-powered with 2 Oceanvolt electric motors and has - as we have been told - the largest LiFePo battery bank of any non-commercial boat out there. This was done to offset the range a diesel would normally provide and still allow here to sail to remote places. Almost everything is new in 2022!
If electric motors are not your thing we could consider selling just the hull and removing the motors/batteries/motor control equipment - Hull only would be $125,000 USD.
There is too much to describe and list here but there is an abundance of information and pictures on the website.

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)
