Five year old main sail with three reef points. Five year old 90% jib. One 130% genoa in good condition, 180% genoa in fair condition, and a small spinnaker. Running rigging in good condition. Sleeps four, stove, sink, two burner alcohol stove 20 gallon ice box, head with porta potty and sink. Newly covered cabin cushions June 2021. No blisters, sanded to gel coat four years ago eight coats of Interlux barrier coat two coats of bottom paint done by West Access Marina. Two new coats on bottom in September 2021. Atomic 4 universal gas engine in excellent condition. Rewired ignition system in April 2021. Complete new exhaust system 2020. Newly varnished bright work 2021, teak. This boat handles very well in heavy weather and also in light wind. The boat was sailed solo in a confirmed 54 mph wind on a sunny day on Lake Carlyle with a storm jib and all three reefs in the main. No problem. The pictures that accompany this add were taken in a 35-40 mph wind again on a sunny day with the 90% jib and a double reef in the main. The reef system can be done single handed from the cockpit. This boat is also very easy to sail for a beginner because the running rigging is simple. If you have any questions or would like to see this boat please give us a call at 618-594-2461
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)
Entirely different from an earlier MORGAN 30 (1968) from the same builder and designer.
