Seller's Description

SV Gaia is in excellent condition and is ready to circumnavigation. The boat is in immaculate condition and priced to be sold. She is ready to turn the key and sail.

I have been sailing the boat for over a year around the Caribbean and prepping her to cross the Pacific but because of health issues I won’t be able to make to the South Pacific.

The boat has a V berth in the bow and a very big cabin as master in the aft, full galley, one head and shower and a big living area that can convert into an extra bed.

Please email me at panamavoyage@gmail.com if you would like to see more picts or with any questions.

We are in Bonaire at the moment and will be here for the hurricane season.

More details: 75 HP yammar engine, water maker, water heater, solar panels (500watts), AIS, Eprib, life raft, 3 times the USCG minimum recommended safety equipment, autopilot, refrigerator, inverter, 2 AGM 720 batteries engine battery, A/C, fans in every cabin and living area, Rocna anchor (best anchor out there), 2 extra anchors, VHF, GPS,SSB, portable VHF, satellite phone, portable GPS, dinghy is less than a year old with a 20 HP engine

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.6 kn
Classic: 6.01 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

6.6 knots
Classic formula: 6.01 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.7
<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.
14.68
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
42.5
>40: stiffer, more 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

42.48
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
255.8
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
255.77
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
20.8
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
20.76
<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
1.9
<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
1.92
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

One of most popular of the designers plans. It is said that more than 1000 have been built.
