The Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 48 is a blue water cruiser noted for exceptional sailing performance with safety, ease and comfort. This Ed Dubois design with an Andrew Winch interior was built in France and outfitted to the highest standards. She is a true deck saloon with a raised floor and large windows allowing panoramic sea views at the pilot station and saloon. Below the raised saloon is an expansive engine and utility room. Roller furling, electric winches, and self- tacking jib make her an extremely easy boat to sail shorthanded. In addition, a second interior helm station allows her to be driven from inside.
The raised aft cockpit allows for two large aft stateroom, one a large double and the other two bunks. Both have full headroom and extensive cabinetry. The master is forward with an ensuite head and shower. The bed has access on either side and ample cabinet storage.
The boat has been sailed 6 months a year since new and stored on land under cover for the balance most years. Currently in the Eastern Caribbean, trade wind cruising on the clear turquoise waters is ideal and a great start for a longer voyage!

Most days the solar system provides all energy used.
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)
