1983 Cal 9.2 Meter

Listed
Expired
$3,100 USD

Seller's Description

The Cal 9.2 Meter was designed by famed racer, Ron Holland. This is an International Offshore Class (IOC) half ton racer with a deep draft and some serious rigging for racing. She has double spreaders, a fixed whisker pole, refurbished main sail, refurbished tiller (looks like new!), working GPS with built in depth finder, 4 travelers, 5 Lewmar winches. Sails included are a Mainsail, storm job, spinnaker, 110 jib. I refurbished the main sail in 2020. She has no hull damage and we worked on the deck to mitigate deck leakage. She will require new deck paint and/or a simple replacement of the nonskid where we did glass work on the trunk. Resealed the fore hatch and eliminated leakage on the bow. There is no more lining in the interior, so this will be up for the owner to either replace or keep the currently new pain job that we conducted down below. Cabin needs a vacuum (That is dust on the upholstery). Upholstery refurbished in 2018. Working head, VHF, anchor, lifelines, working diesel (winterized), new boom vang, chart table, refurbished interior cushions, lighting, 2 batteries (newly purchased in 2020, swim ladder. Owner is in the middle of a medical issue and can no longer work on this DIY job. However, she is seaworthy and ready for dipping. The keel bolts have no leakage or corrosion. The hull is incredibly sound and has structural integrity. Buy this boat with confidence but please know that she will need some TLC on the deck and interior. She can be dipped and on her way, but recommend some time to bring her back to her original luster.

Equipment: Main Sail, Storm Jib, Spinnaker, 110, GPD w/ Depth, Compass, full galley, alcohol stove, VHF, head, 2 new batteries, Whisker Pole, life lines, life jackets.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.1 kn
Classic: 6.76 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

8.14 knots
Classic formula: 6.76 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.
16.97
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
39.0
<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

38.99
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
190.1
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
190.09
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
17.9
<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
17.87
<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
2.2
>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
2.16
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Based on a Ron Holland designed IOR 1/2 ton racer, the 9.2 was built under license from Jeanneau, which sold the boat in Europe as the RUSH 31. (RUSH, RUSH GTE w/deep keel,RUSH REGATTE w/lead keel and RUSH ROYAL. (Jeanneau was owned by the same parent company at the time.)
Also similar to the NICHOLSON 1/2 TON.
Also CAL 9.2R version with 2 spreader rig and deeper lead keel-draft: 5.58’.
Yet another version was built in Brazil. (MARINER 31?)
