Seller's Description

The Young Sun 43 is a spacious, comfortable liveaboard home with 6’3’ headroom. ‘Osprey’ is a proven blue water cruising boat with two circumnavigations under her belt so far and traditional looks that turn heads anywhere she goes. She was designed by Ron Amy and built in the Formosa shipyard with a quality thick fiberglass hull that you won’t find in today’s production boats. She boasts beautifully crafted teak woodwork on the interior giving the look and warmth of a real wooden boat but retains the strength and piece of mind of a solid fiberglass lamination. You may have heard of the Spindrift 43 as the ‘Young Sun’ model was renamed when they brought it to the American market. The pilot house design provides the option of inside and outside hydraulic steering so no matter what the weather conditions you are comfortable.

Her full keel with a ‘double ended’ transom and high bow gives her a seakindly movement and wonderful comfort and security at sea. The cutter rig makes all the sails manageable and gives you sail plan options for all conditions. Her spacious two cabin layout works for a family or a couple. Step aboard Osprey and I think anyone would agree she truly is one of a kind and a must see for anyone with dreams of sailing the Caribbean and beyond!

Newly rebuilt 65 hp Cummins engine (2018) on new motor mounts that runs great with only 90 hours with Triton Dripless Shaft Seal and New Exhaust manifold

Other recent upgrades include; (4) 100 watt solar panels w/ 30 amp Blue Sky charge controller, Garmin chart plotter, Raymarine radar, NEW Upholstery, 12V fridge/freezer, Upgraded Electric Head & plumbing recently replaced, New Exhaust, New oversize 10mm rigging (2017) and custom woodwork completed by a professional shipright that would impress the best of the best!

Don’t miss out on this chance to own a piece of sailing history!

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.9 kn
Classic: 7.97 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

7.91 knots
Classic formula: 7.97 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.2
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.
17.2
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
30.9
<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

30.86
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
354.2
>350: ultraheavy

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
354.18
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
47.3
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
47.32
<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
1.6
<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
1.58
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Under this name mostly exported to Australia.
Center cockpit and aft cockpit/w pilot house versions.
The SPINDRIFT 43 seems to be the same design.
