An excellent boat, with a respectable pedigree, in good overall condition.
$18,500 OBO
With 11,000 lbs displacement, and full keel, she is a capable bluewater sailer. Her shoal draft of just 4’ is ideal for the shallow waters around Houston or the Bahamas. Easily handled short-handed or solo with all lines running to the cockpit. A wide 11’6” beam and 6’3” standing headroom offers ample cabin space. Stowage is generous for the length.
I’ve been slowly going through systems, cleaning and renewing bits and pieces as I’ve had time. I had a friend living aboard until just recently. The boat is overall really nice. However, I am better served parting with her and putting the proceeds toward my Gulfstar 41 liveaboard project.
The 20 hp Yanmar diesel cranks up readily and runs well. There is a hour meter, but I can’t make out the reading due to a foggy lens. It appears to be a 3 digit number. Decks are solid with a few cosmetic blemishes. The teak sole is in overall good condition, save a couple of spots that need attention. Standing rigging passes visual inspection. Running rigging is all there and works, but is weathered. All winches function, all lines run to cockpit. Sails are in good serviceable condition. The sun cover on the genoa needs to be resewn in a spot. Here is the ( non-exhaustive) list of projects that I am still working along on: -Clean fuel tank & polish diesel -Replace raw water impeller -Repair damaged spots of sole -Oil exterior teak -Bottom cleaning & inspection -Minor wood repair under quarter berth -Replace shelf behind port setee -Replace house batteries
Equipment: Onboard systems / options include: -Chartplotter -Roller furling -9 opening ports -Radar -Davit -Autohelm -Compass -Windlass -Dodger -Bimini -Extra sails -Solar panel -Shore power connection -Portable A/C -12v DC and 120v AC power -Water heater -Refrigerator/freezer (built in) -Stove and oven -Pressure freshwater
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)
