Seller's Description

Go to Sailing Texas classifieds for current sailboats for sale Starwind 19, 1982 sailboat for sale with very good trailer for sale $4380

Overall very good operating shape Good main and jib, older but many years of service left. New running rigging ($100) New cushion covers ($1390) New portholes ($200) 16 new trailer rollers ($305) New wood bunks ($30) Total recently spent over $2000

LOA 18.56’ Beam 7.5’ Draft max 4.5’ Draft min 1.5’ Displacement 1350lbs Ballast 395lbs

I 20 J 6 P 21 E 8.82

Main SA 92.61sq ft Jib SA 60 sq ft

Trailer is in excellent shape and has a separate tongue extension. The boat is balanced very well for long rides on the road to great sailing locations. The tongue weight is about 250-300lbs and total towing weight is about 2500lbs. Just about any car, truck or SUV can tow it for a few miles to your local lake. It has a 2” ball hitch. If you do not want the trailer take off $1000

The Starwind 19 has an enclosed swing keel and can be sailed with it up or down so it can be sailed in very shallow water.

The interior is very clean and nice (new cushions) and I would say 7.5 of 10. Mechanically the boat is fully functional and in good solid shape ready for many more years of service 8 out of 10. Cosmetically because of the age of the boat the stickers at the top of the hull are cracked and parts of the stickers are missing at about 5.5 out of 10. With a good polishing and paint the boat would look very nice but mechanically would operate the same The deck and cockpit have a few spider and small impact cracks but are sound and in very good condition especially for a 40 year old boat. I have seen boats 1/2 her age with average use showing twice the spider and small impact cracks. I have cleaned the bottom and with a light sanding it would be ready for paint. I leave it unpainted so you can see the actual condition, imperfections are not just covered up and to give you the opportunity to save some money by painting yourself. If you are going to trailer sail it you could just leave it as is. I will take some trade ins on a case by case basis. I am a full service boat yard in central Texas and can perform any repairs and upgrades you should need

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.7 kn
Classic: 5.29 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

6.74 knots
Classic formula: 5.29 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
19.9
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.
19.92
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
29.3
<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

29.25
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
159.2
100-200: light

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
159.15
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
8.6
<20: lightweight racing 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
8.57
<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
2.7
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.72
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Starwind was a division of Wellcraft Marine. (USA)
When Wellcraft left the sailboat business, the molds were sold to another builder and few more boats were built and sold as the STARWIND 190, and later still, the SPINDRIFT 19.
