AMF 26 Sailboat Orion Shoal draft/centerboard model perfect for Gulf Coast cruising Mainsail and jib, standing and running rigging in good condition, 9.9 Yamaha outboard with electric start and power trim/tilt, standing head room in cabin! and private head make this boat a nice potential liveaboard without the high docking fees of larger boat. Selling because it is too large to get into Dunedin Marina. There is a galley with gimballed alcohol stove and working sink in the main cabin. There are also 2 settees/berths in the main cabin and a fold down table. The private head also has standing head room, opening ports, a working sink and portapotty. (has fitting for marine head pump out) The large forward V berth has two skylights. Additional equipment includes two person inflatable kayak, swim ladder and autohelm. 5900 0b0
Equipment: Mainsail and Jib, lines run to cockpit, trim,tilt outboard with electric start, two person kayak, autopilot
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)
The PY23 was originally built in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, and later by AMF in the US.
Also called PACESHIP PY 23.
Fin keel version - PY 23K (MORC):
Draft: 3.75’
Ballast: 900 lbs.
