Seller's Description

I have a project A cat for sale.The hulls are 95%-ish complete. Need some details for the hatches at the back. Ready for paint and clear coat.The intent of building this was purely for fun, not for racing. This is based on John and Ian lindahl’s early boats. I used one of their old molds and modified it for this construction.The hulls are made of Okoume plywood for the sides and deck and the bottoms are redwood strips.the intent is for the deck to have the okoume wood showing and the hulls painted.rudders are included. I believe these are LR5 rudders fitted for this boat.This is for pick up only!Note this is a home build boat! not warranties implied and I will not be liable in any way.I also have a Harken traveler track that will fit this boat. I will list that under the parts listing. Here is a link to that https://www.thebeachcats.com/classifieds/catamaran-parts-for-sale/p16587-harken-curved-traveler-track-.html

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.8 kn
Classic: 8.32 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

9.84 knots
Classic formula: 8.32 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
25.2
>20: high 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.
25.21
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
38.5
<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

38.46
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
202.1
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
202.08
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
34.2
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising 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
34.2
<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
1.7
<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
1.69
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Built primarily for use at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and replacements for the Luders 44 yawls, originally built for the U.S .Naval Academy in the 1960’s. It is thought that this is an updated version of the NA 44 of the 1980’s. (McCurdy & Rhodes) Also referred to as DEFIANCE class.
