The owner bought this boat in 2014
General condition and any additional information
I still love to sail this boat, but just dont have the room for two boats. The center board down and draws 4 foot, up and just 6 inches. Great boat to sail, beach and picnic. Comfortable seating for 4-5 people. Sails nicely, stable and responsive. Paid $1200, and put $1800 into her.
Standard features
Fractional Sloop. Standard day sailing boat, outboard, and trailer. Large cockpit for a family and enclosed Cutty. Kick up center board, stores in trunk. Boat weighs 600 pounds, and trailer 400 pounds.
Extra gear included
Motor, Safety gear, anchor, paddle, boat hook.
Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior
Sails in good condition. Replaced standing rigging and halyards 2014. Added motor mount and used 4 hp Evinrude long shaft. Trailer 1983 EZ loader. Red hull gelcoat is faded but topside in good condition.
Easy to set up, and great day sailing boat with 10 ft. cockpit and nice locking cutty for gear.
I slipped the boat for 3 years in Lake Macatawa (Holland Michigan) Excellent for inland lakes, and big lakes when the wind is light. Sails great in 6-15 knots. I bought a bigger boat for Lake Michigan sailing..
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)
AKA S2 5.5 GRAND SLAM.
