Seller's Description

Peterson 46s are considered great world-cruising yachts and the 1984 built Skedaddle Again is now for sale. This centre cockpit, blue water cutter has a solid thick fiberglass hull, encapsulated long fin keel with skeg hung rudder and propeller in an aperture. Together, with a relatively low freeboard and moderate beam it is a very safe, seaworthy yacht in heavy weather that also performs well in light winds. In this Hillier Peterson 46 version, construction was overseen by Ron Hillier of Australia these are recognised for their superior quality, redesigned interior and attention to detail. Below she has the traditional warmth of a classic yacht and is a handcrafted example of a boat builders art in rich, solid Burmese teak. Skedaddle Again was one of the last Peterson 46s ever built, launched in 1984.

Registered Australian Ship # 851816

We purchased Skedaddle Again in 1997. After several years of preparing her for a circumnavigation we departed Sydney in 2003. We have lived onboard ever since and have cruised extensively in SE Asia, the Mediterranean and Caribbean with a forced break in Australia during COVID. She has received every care and attention during this time this is reflected in our most recent insurance survey (October 2017) which is available to interested purchasers. Sadly we have decided to part with Skedaddle and pursue a new adventure in the canals of Europe. She is conveniently located in Panama to allow you to cruise the Caribbean, venture out into the Pacific or cruise the coasts of the Americas. We are currently living on board and all systems are working and the teak is gleaming.

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.9 kn
Classic: 8.56 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

9.88 knots
Classic formula: 8.56 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.0
16-20: good performance

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.
17.0
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
34.0
<40: less stiff, less 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

34.02
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
218.7
200-275: moderate

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
218.67
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
38.3
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising 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
38.26
<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
1.7
<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
1.66
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
