Seller's Description

Windswept is out of the water, available for viewing, in Indiantown Marina, Indiantown, Florida. This 40’ Beneteau Pilothouse features an interior wheel station. Picture being underway and suddenly, wind on the nose and driving rain, you can be steering from inside, warm and comfortable and still have 360 degrees of visibility outside. See link. youtu.be/3jHY1O52pPE

Both headsails and the mainsail are roller furled and make single-handed operation easy and enjoyable.

The six-foot stern swim/dive platform is a delight for water sports. It doubles as storage for dinghy (one person haul-out) and kayak.

Windswept sails and races like a dream: with the aid of a linear actuator, the 5.5 ft. keel extends its 1000 pound lead bulb to 7 ft. in less than a minute, allowing for superb upwind sailing.

You will appreciate the 14 breezy opening hatches, all with screens and Sunbrella covers.

Yes to Radar, Spectra watermaker, Icom SSB, Air conditioning, autopilot, 4.2 KW Genset, Winslow Life Raft, MaxProp, new rigging 2018 and much more.

Windswept was selected from over 500 boats to be featured in a European commercial, filmed in the Bahamas and featuring wild dolphins jumping her stern deck.

She has had one owner. Now located in Indiantown, Florida, she will be on land Feb 15 -Mar 31 for ease of viewing. Duty paid in both US and Canada.

Sail her to the Bahamas, then take her home. Call Chip Cramer S&J Yachts 512-560-2965 windsweptsail@gmail.com

Calculations

Hull Speed
5.8 kn
Classic: 5.19 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

5.76 knots
Classic formula: 5.19 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.8
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.
17.79
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
33.5
<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

33.53
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
248.2
200-275: moderate

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
248.2
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
13.7
<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
13.66
<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
2.3
>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
2.29
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
