SILVER GIRL

2008 Com-Pac Sun Cat 17′ Location : Guilford, Conn

Asking price : $17,900

** SILVER GIRL IS A NICELY MAINTAINED CATBOAT, READY FOR HER NEXT OWNER **

Trailerable daysailer or quick overnighter sailboat in very good condition: This desirable catboat with bimini is the perfect size for a day of fun sailing with your family. It has a roomy cockpit for 4-5 people and comfortably sleeps 2 in the cabin equipped with cushions, 2 opening port windows and a porta potty. Trailering is convenient and set up is easy with the Mastendr folding mast system. Just pop up the attached mast and in minutes youre ready to launch and raise the sail. This boat sails with ease in light winds or choppy seas and is manageable for one person to sail. The shape of the hull with its wide 7 ft. 3 in. beam makes this sailboat very stable. The 14 draft with centerboard up or 54 draft with centerboard down allows for sailing in shallow water or close to shore. The boat features a 2020 Tohatsu Sail-Pro 6 HP long shaft 4-stroke outboard motor with less than 8 hrs. and comes with an EZ Loader galvanized trailer, also in very good condition.

Sun Cat Specifications Length: 17 ft. 4 in. / 5.28 m Beam: 7 ft. 3 in. / 2.21 m Draft, board up: 1 ft. 2 in. / 0.36 m Draft, board down: 4 ft. 6 in. / 1.37 m Displacement: 1,500 lbs. / 682 kg GENERAL INFO :

Compac Sun CatThe 17′ Sun Cat was designed by Clark Mills as a shoal-draft daysailer and overnighter that would rig quickly, sail easily, and comfortably accommodate family and friends with plenty of space for gear and stores.

Equipment: The manufacturer describes the designs goals as easy to rig, sail and transport on a trailer for use as a daysailer and overnight cruiser in shoal waters and coves.5 The Com-Pac Sun Cat is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a gaff rigged catboat, with a plumb stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung ruddercontrolled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a stainless steel centerboard. It displaces 1,500 lb and carries 200 lb of ballast.13 The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft with the centerboard extended and 1.16 ft with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water and ground transportation on a trailer. The design is equipped with a transom-mounted boom gallows on which the mast, boom and gaff may be stowed during ground transport.135 The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, mounted on a bracket on the port side of the transom.13 The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with two straight settees in the main cabin. Cabin headroom is 38 in. There is an anchor locker on the bow.13 The boat has a hull speed of 5.2 kn.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

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

?
Classic formula: ?
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.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
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
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
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
?
<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
?

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
?
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
