Offered for sale is Reef Dancer, a Herreshoff design, this cruiser/racer is fast and comfortable. Solidly built, she is the epitome of a “Good Old Boat”. Needs some cosmetic work, much of the teak still glows. Sails are in great shape, rigging is ready.
Custom interior with $5K backlit, water scape mirror. Custom cushion covers.
Forward V-berth ahead of the water closet with standing locker and head.
Lots of wood in the main cabin, STBD settee berth, table seats 4 and drops to full bed, nav station just aft with quarter berth. Galley has plate alder barbour fridge upgrade to icebox. 3 burner propane stove and sink. Reverse cycle A/C keeps cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Please check back for more details on the listing, or call if you’re ready to see her. She’s on the hard in the Annapolis area.
Equipment: Upgrades/modifications include A/C with reverse cycle heat, fin plate style refrigeration and the helm is moved slightly aft of the original location. Reef Dancer has been re-powered with a Yanmar 3 cyl diesel (1988), unknown hours (no meter). She has a full pressure fresh water system and an auxiliary water bag increasing her total water capacity to 120 gals.
Bottom is in great shape - current owner had professional full bottom restoration to remove blistering - Gel-coat peel and new epoxy skin with water barrier (2014). Hauled every other year and currently on the hard, no signs of any failures on the bottom. Fresh paint (hydrocoat).
2016 upgrades: Garmin touch screen GPS Jabsco manual head USB charging ports at Nav Station and in V-berth Renewal of motor mounts PSS drip-less seal install Complete anti-fouling renewal Prop and shaft balancing new cutless bearing Renewal of rudder bearing seal
2018 upgrades: New Batteries (4) virgin lead deep cycle (2018) Installed Heat Monitors for Batteries New Bilge Pump New Hot Water Heater (4gal) Replaced Fresh Water Delivery Lines with Pex and Sharkbite New Forward 2nd Water Tank New Lewmar self tailing main winches
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)
A refinement of the earlier Bristol 33.
Diesel available as an option.
Keel/CB - Draft: BD: 7.5’; BU: 4.0’
