Seller's Description

SOLD, SALE PENDING

This is a beautifully designed and well built sloop. A roomy interior with lots of light and ventilation. There is a large fwd double berth with convenient storage along the sides of the berth. The vanity sink, marine toilet and shower are located between fwd and main cabins with sliding doors between each cabin. In addition to the fwd berth, the main cabin has 3 more berths.

For safety, there are hand holds along cabin and companionway. The galley consisting of a SS sink with pressurized HOT/COLD water, a two burner stove with cover, a large ice box and plenty of storage in five draws and behind/under seats.

Shore power breakers, Main Battery Switch, and DC switch panel are located in the main cabin. Shore power includes four duplex outlets for conventional electric appliances.

The engine, transmission and battery access is behind the stairs along the starboard berth and port lazaretto.

In the cockpit there is a fresh water shower, an emergency tiller, manual bilge pump and autopilot helm

A Personal Note: When I bought the boat in 2007 in was located on the Delaware River in New Jersey. I brought the boat through the C&D canal into the upper Chesapeake and then down to Poquoson. I have reduced the price from $7800 to $3800 because some recent repair work is required to interior paneling and diesel engine.

The boat is to be sold as is in the slip in Hampton by the end of October. The slip is $155 per month.

Equipment: The inboard engine is a UNIVERSAL model 5411 diesel that has been well maintained but hard starting. In the cockpit is a DATAMARINE LCD sounder and a DATAMARINE LCD knotmeter. On deck is a roller fueler 135% jib sail, a SUNSEI Solar Panel, and a bimini over the cockpit. At the bow is a Fortress FX-11 anchor, bow rollers, 25’ chain on 100’ rode and another 100’ of chain.

The vessel is USCG documented for ease of transferring ownership. All manuals are included. More detail can be found at Mariner 28 website: Mariner Yachts New Hampshire

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.8 kn
Classic: 6.39 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

6.81 knots
Classic formula: 6.39 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.1
<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.
15.1
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
30.2
<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

30.22
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
283.0
275-350: 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
282.96
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.7
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
23.67
<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
1.93
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal draft: 3.5’/1.07m
