Mahalo is a Centurion 40 from the pen of Ed Dubois and built in the highly regarded French yard of Henri Wauquiez.
A strong and stiff aft cockpit bluewater cruiser with a masthead sloop rig with a keel stepped mast.
A very capable offshore yacht known for fast Ocean crossings with a seakindly motion and ideal for long term cruising on a modest budget.
The interior layout provides for four berths in two double cabins plus two further saloon berths and two heads.
Repowered in 2008 with a new Yanmar 40hp diesel which has only done 1,800 hours since and well equipped for long range cruising with a watermaker, SSB radio, solar panels, air-conditioning and a portable generator.
With 12v DC and 110v / 220v AC The shoal draft keel and 63 bridge clearance makes her suitable for cruising the shallow anchorages of the Bahamas and Caribbean and also for the Intracoastal Waterway and East Cost of the USA.
Mahalo was sailed from France to the USA by her first owner, who cruised the Bahamas and Caribbean before sailing her back across the Atlantic to spend a few years in the Mediterranean. Since returning she has been cruising the Caribbean for the last 10 years or so.
Originally US flagged and USCG Documented she is now on the British Registry.
A recent survey is available on request along with the maintenance records.
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)
Shallow draft: 5.25’.
