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.
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)
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.
