This 1981 Choate FeoCF37 is a solidly built cruiser-racer. The CF 37s have a history of success on the racecourse, and a reputation for being a very spacious and comfortable boat for cruising and entertaining.
Incredibly spacious interior (12-foot beam!) The interior is the best layout I have found in a boat of this size and really is a pleasure to move through and entertain in.
A large v-berth (sail storage underneath) in the forward cabin with drawers and a hanging locker as well as private access to the head. Second hanging locker across from head. The settee is a booth to port and seats 4 easily. Ample storage in and around. Sofa to starboard. To starboard the galley includes double sink, force 10 gimbaled stove, refrigerator, and LOTS of storage. Across to port is a full size nav table.
This boat can sleep 8 people! Big V berth, a large aft quarter berth to port, the port settee converts into a double berth and to starboard the sofa and above it a berth for port tacks.
This boat just looks fast, and she is! At a fraction of the cost of a Catalina 38 and a very similar layout, this boat is way better built, and faster than the mass produced Catalinas. Look up Dennis Choate. He knew what he was doing when it came to building boats, and is still making amazing custom boats!
Recent maintenance: 300 hour Pathfinder Diesel installed 2016 New refrigerator pump and plate 2016 Lots of coats of bottom paint 2016 (still in great shape!)

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)
The hull of the MARINER is the same as that of the RHODES 19. A fixed keel version was also available for both boats. In 1969, a ‘2+2’ version was introduced that has a slightly larger cuddy/cabin.
A modified version (with different cabin design) called the SPRINDRIFT ONE appeared in 1980 after the original molds were sold to Rebel Industries-(Spindrift One-Designs).(76 built).
Since 1986, the licensed builder has been Stuart Marine Corp. of Rockland, ME (USA).(Also builder of the RHODES 19).
