1983 Cape Dory 22D

Listed
Expired
$9,900 USD

Seller's Description

Little Miss Magic is a Cape Dory 22D. A classic blue water pocket yacht with big boat attitude. Her beautiful lines were designed by Carl Alberg, with full keel and sloop rigged. She is very stable and safe, sea kindly, and a joy to sail in light winds as well as off shore. The 22D is rare in that the Yanmar diesel was not the norm, as most 22s were powered by outboards. Her sails include a main w/two reefing points, a 135 genoa, storm jib and new halyards. The Raymarine tiller pilot makes single handing Little Miss Magic a breeze. Going down below really shows Cape Dorys attention to detail, with teak surrounding you in classic yacht style. Four bronze ports and v-berth hatch provide ample light and ventilation. She can accommodate four between the v-berth and 2 quarter berth/settees. A stainless steel sink, manual water pump, ice box, bar and library in galley. Origo 1 burner alcohol stove, pots, pans, kettle, and utensils are included. Magic is perfect for day sails, overnighters, and weekends. Her self bailing cockpit is spacious and comfortable for four. I can no longer devote enough time to take care of this beloved vessel properly, so Magic is in search for her next perfect captain to love and enjoy her wonderful spirit. She is in South Shore Harbour Marina, pier 7, slip 35, in League City, TX. Email serious inquiries to ShorelineAdvantage@gmail.com and I will gladly respond.

Calculations

Hull Speed
5.5 kn
Classic: 5.4 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

5.47 knots
Classic formula: 5.4 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.7
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.
17.69
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
43.8
>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

43.76
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
333.4
300-400: heavy

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
333.41
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
19.2
<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
19.19
<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 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
1.99
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The TYPHOON SR (CAPE DORY) is similar but with a different rig and some other minor details.
