$11,000 USD

Seller's Description

1985 Soverel 33-2 Renegade This boat won the Soverel 33 Nationals about a decade ago. Well maintained and ready for racing or cruising. USCG Documented vessel. Sails beautifully and fast. This is likely one of the best condition Soverel 33’s around.

Equipment: Built by Pacific Boat Works reputed to be the best built Soverel 33s Bottom and Hull - no leaks or soft spots - great condition. Balto plate racing bottom paint this spring.

Updated Carbon Fiber rudder and tiller Updated Stantions and life lines

Engine - 1GM10 Yanmar diesel (9hp) - the 2nd engine for the boat and starts right up - runs fine. Oil and filters changed regularly. Belt and water pump impeller changed last year. New fuel tank in 2020.

Sails great set of Doyle carbon sails (main - 1 reef point, #1 150% genoa, #3 100% and #4 - smaller 100%). I have other practice sails (main, jibs). 4 spinnakers ranging from excellent to good.

Standing Rigging - all replaced with new rod rigging in 2020

Running rigging and sheets - all in good shape - replaced when needed. Most is low-stretch material. Spinnaker pole - made of light weight material kevlar/carbon fiber Boom kicker boom vang (supports boom when sail is lowered)

Navigation and Electronics - B&G cockpit mounted GPS navigation system. 2 new (2019) Richie compasses in cockpit (lighted). New mast-head Tri-color LED running lights. FUSE AM/FM/CD stereo system with power-amp and sub-woofer. VHF Radio with stern-rail mounted antenna. Radar reflector on stay.

Anchor, Chain, Line

Cooler (removable Igloo-style)

Sink and connection to internal fresh water container

Porta-Potti

Cushions in all 4 berths: 2 side berths - very wide. 2 quarter berths are doubles - extra wide.

Calculations

Hull Speed
11.2 kn
Classic: 7.39 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

11.16 knots
Classic formula: 7.39 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
26.7
>20: high 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.
26.66
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
48.3
>40: stiffer, more 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

48.27
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
92.1
<100: Ultralight

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
92.05
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
11.7
<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
11.72
<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
2.5
>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
2.45
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The SOVEREL 33 was built by four different companies using 2 sets of molds.
Soverel Marine: First 69 built. (1983-1984?) Klegecell hull and deck. (Balsa deck on later hulls).
Republic Boat Works: 5 built.(1984-1986) Flush deck, no coaming. Divinicell hull and deck.
Pacific Boat Works: 19 built.(1985-1986) Balsa deck and hull.
Tartan Marine: 20 built. (1986-1988) Klegecell hull, balsa decks. More elaborately finished interiors.
