The Jay Benford designed Vector 39. Similar to the Valiant 40. A rare and beautifully designed blue-water sailboat originally out of Washington state. A remarkably well-built boat that will take you around the world.

Cutter rigged sloop. Full keel with cutaway forefoot, skeg hung rudder, bladed protected prop. Keel stepped aluminum mast.
Aft cockpit, two private cabins, midship galley and saloon.
Bottom newly painted. Recently rebuilt 50hp Westerbeke diesel engine with 600 hours, two brand new custom built 100 gallon each stainless steel water and diesel tanks. New sole (walnut vinyl flooring), new toilet.
Standing rigging with Norseman fittings reported in 2002 in great condition. Three sets of sails. All lines lead to cockpit. Line locks and cleats.
Blue bimini dodger and frame. SS arch with radar and dingy davits. Brand new Harbour Freight solar panels still in box. Wind generator.
Portable A/C included with brand new generator onboard.
Zero rot or water damage, boat is solid as a rock. Saloon Settees (woodwork and cushions) need to be replaced as interior refit was started but not completed. We have all the original wood cabinet doors for storage above the tanks. It just needs to be put back together. The cushions (mattresses) in cabins were also removed. Some delamination on superficial veneer around the outdated interior. The engine needs to be hooked back up to the new fuel tank. New toilet and sink in the bathroom need to be hooked up as well. Fridge / freezer needs a new compressor.
I have a survey in hand that was done less than 24 months ago which can be emailed. Boat surveyed at $40,000. I’ve priced the boat to sell as quickly as possible.
Located in Fort Pierce, Florida.
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)
