The Albatros, a truly F1 of the sea with a draught of only 16 inches, is an impressive 32’ x 26’ 6” Val II trimaran designed by Dick Newick in 1991. She saw the day on September 4th, in 2014, finally emerging from the garage after 16 years of a precise and competent part time work respecting the designers specifications. The builder, Jacques, passed away in 2015 and could unfortunately not finalize his dream. My mother and I are wishing this sailboat could navigate on all kinds of water.
Selling price: 20,000 CAD or 26,000 CAD including transportation*
This beautiful trimaran is a pretty rare model, fast, simple and efficient. The selling price covers only the work done since the builder past away. It doesnt represent the time and the required material for the initial construction evaluated at more than 40,000 CAD.
We have to let her go because we dont have the required sailing experience. She is our precious legacy.
*Given the outsized dimensions of the trimaran, road transportation can be an issue: we have an advantageous and realistic plan for transportation from Saint-Simon-de-Bagot (province of Qubec) to the Richelieu river leading to the St. Lawrence river.
IMPORTANT: For experimented sailor (ideally in multihull navigation). Serious buyer only please.
Dont hesitate to communicate with us if you have any question or visit our Facebook page to see more pictures and short videos (Dick Newick Val II Project).
Equipment: She comes with a fiberglass coated 43’ wing mast made out of BC fir wood and epoxy such as the boat structure reinforced with carbon fiber (inside and out), head and foot of mast installed. Included: all boat plans drawn by Newick, tiller, rudder, daggerboard, 4 new self-tailing 35 Harken winches, plough anchor, small propane stove, portable toilet and small sink. We completely repainted her last summer, inside and outside, with a polyurethane paint and varnished the wood surfaces. Not included: engine, sails, boom and some fittings.
A few specs: Sail: 540 - 800 square feet Total weight including rigging: 3 500 pounds Draught: 16 inches Recommended engine: less than10 HP Berths: 2 1 (one on each side with lots of storage space a small optional one at the front) Cockpit: 2 wooden benches and storage
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Prototype was ‘Third Turtle, 2nd in the 1976 OSTAR.
A popular and successful shorthanded racer of this time due to its proven seaworthiness and a relatively low cost of construction. Built by the designer and from plans by many others. It is said that at least 30 boats have been built to this design.
