Seller's Description
“A big, fast, beautiful performer, tough enough to sail anywhere in the world and comfortable enough to seriously try it!” - as advertised when she first came out in 1979.
Sadly selling because of an unforeseen move to Europe.
She’s very stable and forgiving, shows some signs of age, but is very reliable and forgiving in handling.
Built by Seafarer Fiberglass Yachts in Huntington, New York.
Sails are of age but are fully usable and good to handle, roller furling works smoothly, and standing rigging is fully functioning as confirmed by a professional rigger. Even comes with a spinnaker and a spinnaker pole!
A “turn-key” boat, ready for the next adventures!
Short background story: I got her for me and my fianc and we planned to go cruising and stay over frequently. We got only the best and original replacement parts- now unfortunately were moving out of the country and sadly have to let her go. The interior has a headroom of 6 2” throughout, is super spacious and bright, and the galley is very conveniently set up. Some interior woodwork has been replaced or painted by a professional. Wonderful homey feeling!
Pressurized, cold/and warm water system, porta potty (saltwater head can easily be added - new fitting thruhulls&seacocks installed and holding tank and pump out pump on board).
One side of the deck has some crazing, likely due to years of one-sided sun ray exposure. Overall some small fixes here and there would be appreciated, but shes currently perfectly functioning! I sailed her around Long Island Sound this spring for two weeks continuously and she performed wonderfully!
She can be seen on the hard @ Moonbeam Gateway Marina in Brooklyn - and can be launched and kept on the dock anytime. Marina fees are included until October 15th.
Happy to help sail her to another nearby marina if needed.
Sold as is: $6000 (priced for quick sale)

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
- 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.
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
