This is a beautiful and rare 1981 Southern Cross 28. There were only 70 of these boats made, this one is number 58. According to the owner, the boat was freshwater kept most of its life until it recently came to Tampa.
It’s a mostly fiberglass boat with foam core and teak trim throughout. It was built by CE Ryder and designed by Thomas Gillmer.
The cockpit provides tiller steering with Raymarine autopilot along with Signet depth/speed meter and Ritchie compass.
There are a nice canvas dodger and cockpit cover from 2013, which adds nicely to the style, profile, and comfort of this boat.
There is a clean, and according to the owner, well working Universal diesel to motor you out. When you’re ready. raise the nice Doyle mainsail from 2016, staysail, and jib with Furlex 100 roller furling.
This boat is equipped with 30 amp shore power connection and power cord, two house batteries and one starter battery with 12 volt charger.
The convenient layout allows the head to be closed off for privacy. The head includes a hot water heater, shower, and manual raw water flush.
The spacious V-berth is for staying overnight along with everything else you need to make getting away fun and enjoyable.
This boat looks ready to sail away today! It’s a well priced and rare boat!
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)
Also called GILLMER 28.
