The Galway is a wonderful first time sailboat and its in great shape. The main photo is one month ago. Its in the best condition it has ever been. I purchased the boat over 6 years ago. I have over 5,000 dollars in upgrades. New Sails ( sunbrella blue edge) double reef, All New Sheets and Lines, New Lazy Jack system, Boom Vang, Grill, Battery Charging system 2 batteries , New Bottom Job this season. New Tiller, New Brightwork done this season. Redid halyards to all lines no cable. The 2006 9.8 HP Tohatsu has been maintained an tuned by marina every year. New Gas tank, New Grill Raymarine auto pilot and Trailer included. I am moving up to a 31 ft boat. I have mixed feelings but its time to move on. All New lighting included LEDs.

Equipment: Two sets of sails original and new. Trailer and Motor, Auto pilot, stove . Garmin Navigation system, Recent bottom job and recent swing keel cable replacement, Bright work refinished, two part epoxy and uv urethane, rigging in great condition. Lazy jacks and boom vang added.
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)
The most popular sailboat (in this size range) ever built in the US.
