Seller's Description

Go to Sailing Texas classifieds for current sailboats for sale San Juan 21 MKII, 1976 Lewisville, Texas

San Juan 21 MKII with a 3.5 HP Suzuki outboard A past owner had rigged it for racing, although we never have.

That equipment is included along with a spinnaker pole that was bent when I bought it. The individual from whom I purchased the boat told me it could be repaired but I never attempted it since we did not use a spinnaker in our daysailing. The accessories include 2 mainsails and 4 headsails. A bimini top, dock bumpers, and anchor along with the trailer dolly are included. I rebuilt the boot for the swing keel and replaced the cable two years ago. The recovery winch on the trailer was replaced two weeks ago. The trailer has been modified with a secondary winch to allow the mast to be raised and lowered readily by 1-2 people. The handrails are showing weathering but I never got around to replacing them. Start your sailing fun right away.

Specifications:

Overall length: 20.5 ft Beam width: 7 ft. It has a swing keel and is classified as a fractional sloop. Main sail is: 100.63 ft2 Fore sail is: 90 ft2

It is ready to sail today. The boat did not come to me with a gas engine. It came with a trolling motor. I will give a trolling motor with the boat.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.9 kn
Classic: 5.6 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

7.86 knots
Classic formula: 5.6 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
24.7
>20: high 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.
24.68
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
28.5
<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

28.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
116.9
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
116.88
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
8.8
<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
8.77
<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
2.5
>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
2.5
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Clark Boat Co. had previously built a number of One-Design Dinghy’s, but this was the first ‘SAN JUAN’ and a huge success.
Designed displacement was 1250 lbs. but it was found that most ended up at 1400 lbs.
Thanks to Samuel Tricky for providing corrected information for this and number of other boats in this category.
