Seller's Description

Contact the owner at four zero seven-seven eight two-five seven two three…It’s sailing season! Single white monohull seeks captain and crew for romantic journeys near the beach, and exciting times on a close reach. I’ve got curves in all the right places, sure to excite your senses as we explore the world together. I’m tired of living at the dock - I want to go to the bahamas! Aruba! Jamaica! Here! There! Everywhere!!! (my current captain has health issues that prevents us from exploring). I’m currently in the water at Cape Canaveral,FL. Bring your gear and lets go!!! I’m ready to go and will take you in comfort. Here are my digits… Health forces sail of S/V Secord, my beloved 1990 Beneteau Moorings 38. She features 2 berths, the aft berth features its own television, a custom Fox mattress, and access to the engine, batteries, and fuel tank. The V-berth forward has a private head, and access to the forward water tank. Midships is the salon and galley. the salon features a pull out bunk, fold out table, 32 inch TV and blu-ray player, access to the A/C and port water tanks, and the main head. The main head has a macerator, shower, and sink. Lots of storage aboard, and the nav station offers commercial grade AC/DC powered refrigerator and freezer. The galley offers double sinks and a gimbled oven, although Ive not used it. The engine is a Yanmar 3GM30F (27 hp), with about 5300 hours on it. I just completed a rebuild before hurricane Dorian, which included all new water pumps and alternator, new cooling and exhaust systems, new belts & filters, oil change, and a paint job to make her sparkle. Ive also re-insulated (as much as I can) the engine bay.

Equipment: Other features: 11 ft West Marine inflatable dingy and 15 hp Mercury outboard. No leaks. Also has an inflatable kayak aboard, new, never used. Bimini and dodger 2 solar panels sit atop the bimini, and keep your batteries charged up. 2 Honda 2200 generators and parallel kit for your offshore A/C power needs (brand new, never started) 2 TVs aboard, 32in the main salon and a smaller in the aft berth Upgraded A/C electrical throughout 3 bilge pumps, 2 on demand and the third on a float switch, along with a high water alarm 2 main sails, 1 jib, 1 spinnaker. Sail cover just re-sewn. All required safety gear (fire extinguishers, etc), including a full compliment of type 1 PFDs. GPS/Radar/VHF with RAM mike in cockpit. USB charging ports in cockpit Stereo in salon, speakers in salon and cockpit Autohelm, depth sounder, etc. 31.7 gallon fuel tank Bottom job and Zink 1/2018 10,000 BTU aqua-air a/c in salon 2 anchors forward and windlass coast guard documented.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.8 kn
Classic: 7.5 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

8.76 knots
Classic formula: 7.5 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
?

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.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
33.4
<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

33.4
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
210.7
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
210.74
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.5
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
23.48
<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
2.0
>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
2.02
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

See MOORINGS 38-2 for more details.
Also referred to as BENETEAU 38M.
Same hull as FIRST 38S5 but with different deck and rig. Built at Beneteau USA.
(An earlier MOORINGS 38 was based on the FIRST 38 (BENETEAU).)
