Seller's Description

This 1974 Dreadnought was built locally in Carpinteria, California. There is about 83 total in existence. They were built by William Crealock one of the world’s most experienced, respected and prolific designers of offshore sailing yachts.

This Cruiser is a good bluewater sailboat. She is designed and rigged for single-handed sailing. The Dreadnought 32 is a Crealock-designed traditional, heavy-displacement, double-ended cruising sailboat based on the Tahiti Ketch making it more stable in extreme weather and storms.

The Dreadnought is extremely hardy and roomy. She’scomfortable for 2 to liveaboard with a queen-sized bed with a new memory foam mattress. For entertainment, there’s a 32 “ TCL Roku TV 1080 pixels.

In the galley, there’s lots of table space and a wood-burning stove that can be used for heating or cooking. There is adequate space to add a cooler or refrigerator since if you choose.

A dehumidifier was added to keep the boat dry and smelling fresh at all times.

An 80-watt solar panel with a 400-watt wind generator charges the batteries. There’s also a charge controller for the generator and solar panels. AC shore power charger ProMariner 1250P is included.

Netting has been added for safety that’s wrapped around the entire boat so it’s safe for everyone even children.

Take advantage of owning this antique1974 Dreadnought 32 sailboat made for cruising with maximum comfort and safety and minimum effort and risk.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.4 kn
Classic: 7.34 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

7.44 knots
Classic formula: 7.34 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
13.7
<16: under powered

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.
13.73
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
330.8
275-350: heavy

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
330.8
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
46.6
40-50: heavy bluewater 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
46.64
<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
1.5
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.48
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Design based on the orginal 1932 TAHITI KETCH with redesigned rig by Crealock (cutter or ketch). Many were sold in ‘kit’ form for owner completion. Dreadnought Boatworks was located in Carpenteria CA, USA.
