1986 Beneteau First 29

Listed
Expired
$22,995 USD

Seller's Description

Beautiful, well maintained, very balanced. She is well respected in club racing and great fast cursing boat. Great design of interior. Water heater, shore power, ice box.

All lines leads back to cockpit. Easy to sail single handed.

All deck hardware were replaced with new mid-range harken track and cars. Harken rolling furling (installed in 2013). Self tailing winches (installed in 2013) in cockpit.

Only reason we are selling her is we are relocating for work and the boat won’t be usable where we are going.

Boat is currently in storage in South Portland. Professionally wrapped w/ access door so you can view both inside and out ! Main and Jib were cleaned and stored for the season in Yarmouth.

Equipment: Sails: -laminated genoa (2016) -laminated jib (2015) -laninated main (2014) -dacron jib 100% and 155% (usable) -dacron main (usable) -spinaker and spare spinnaker (small but usable) Head sail cover and main sail cover. Jib & Spinnaker sheet

Her antifouling is Vivid white. All headliner were removed inside making it clean and easy to maintain.

Engine: Volvo Penta 2002 - running very well Folding Gori prop (2013) Electronics: Garmin 441 gps (installed new in 2016) Raymarine ST60 (2014) Depth and speed 30w solar panel for charge on mooring or cruising Starting and House (deep cycle) battery VHF (2013) with output in cockpit Radio and speaker interior and in cockpit Grill

Docking line, fenders, life jackets etc.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.5 kn
Classic: 6.86 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

8.49 knots
Classic formula: 6.86 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.0
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.
16.95
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
31.4
<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

31.44
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
174.5
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
174.46
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
19.1
<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
19.06
<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
2.0
>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
2.04
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
