Already in Paradise! SV Freya is now in Bocas del Toro, Panama. However Mama is prego again so we’re going back to land for a while. As such our dear Cal 2-46 is on the market again. This truly classy sailing vessel safely and comfortably carried us 6000 nautical miles from California to Cabo, up into and through the islands of the Sea of Cortez to and all the way back down to along the Pacific coast to beautiful Panama, through the canal, into the Caribbean and up to Bocas del Toro! If you’re not familiar with the legendary Cal 2-46 and Cal 40 heritage do some googling. These boats are legendary. Designer Bill Lapworth and builder Jack Jensen both chose Cal 2-46s as their personal retirement yachts for extended blue-water cruising.
This particular Cal 2-46 has a very special interior layout modeled after the later Cal 3-46 which resulted in a yacht that preserved the signature wide open “deck saloon” windows of the 2-46 and combined it with the later “galley down” configuration of the 3-46 putting the galley in the walkway between the salon and the aft cabin significantly opens up the main cabin space resulting one of the most spacious salons of any sub 50ft monohull - period! As a live aboard, she is in a league of her own. Complete with 1 year old Dometic reverse cycle air conditioner/heater, new Splendide (vented) washer/dryer, new electric head (forward and manual aft), new sink faucets, new added insulation around all window cabinets, full hight shower stall, new white canvas window covers, white vinyl cousins, new white exterior cockpit cousins, new (2021) sunbrella sail covers, dodger covers, new off white/cream non-skid decks.
Huge engine room: Full stand up engine room with natural light, work bench, a sink, new victron batter charger, new solar charge controller, completely rebuilt (2021) Perkins 4326 so clean you can eat off her. New Bottom paint: 2021 Now Non-Skid: 2022 New B&G: 2022 New Victron Charger: 2023 New 5000 watt inverter 2023 New sunbrella Bimini canvas extension 2023
Equipment: Harken roller furling for Genoa and full batten North mainsail with lazy jacks and 3 reef points. RayMarine autopilot, IridiumGo Sat for weather. B&G Chartplotter with Forward Scanning depth finder. 73lbs Rocna anchor on stainless swivel with 300 ft of 3/8 chain. We carry a 12 foot WestMarine inflatable on the bow with an electric Torqeedo Travel outboard to get around.
Fuel Tank: 215 gallons - 3 tanks (1 in operation). Fresh Water Tank: 270 gallons - 2 tanks(1 in operation) Cabins: 3 Heads: 2
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)
