This very well equipped Dufour 12000CT Ketch is the perfect liveaboard for a couple or for a family
Equipped with a Perkins 4236 Diesel - it is reliable and runs well. It can you get you home safely when the wind dies
Standing and Running rigging have been updated as necessary over the last two years and are in reported good condition. Sail inventory includes Genoa, Main & Mizzen. Equipped with a variety of winches and hardware to fly sail configurations to get you where you want to go.
Ground tackle includes 2 30# Rocna anchors, a Danforth and a Spade as well as chain and windlass.
Boat has a nice galley with stove, Dometic cooler/refrigerator, and sink– New Freshwater pump in 2020
This one has a great layout with a spacious salon, Bunkhouse with 4 bunks and a large V-Berth master.
Two Heads with manual toilets and a shower in the forward head.
This one is ready to cruise
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)
Sloop or ketch.
Shallow draft: 5.5’/1.68m.
Thanks to DUFOUR 12000 CT owner ‘CptJess’ for providing corrections.
According to him, very few of the shallow draft version were built.
(12000 is probably a reference to designed displacement.)
