1985 Tillotson & Pearson J/35

Listed
Expired
$33,300 USD

Seller's Description

Tillotson & Pearson produced 330 of the J/35 from 1983 to 1992. These are the perfect racing sloop for any condition. This particular J/35 is located on the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, MD where it has performed in many of the races including the Annapolis to Newport, Rhode Island races. It came in 2nd overall in the Annapolis to St. Michaels annual regatta and has traveled up and down the bay more time than countable.

The lightweight hull requires a deeper minimum draft of almost 7 feet. 85% of its weight is located in the lower portion of the keel. This gives you and your racing crew plenty of leverage to lead any race you compete in. In addition to the lightweight hull comes a Kevlar Spinnaker pole weighing only 5 pounds!

Sails included with the sale included but not limited to a brand new mainsail, two #1(1 new and 1 older), #2, #3, #4, and 6 shoots. The rigging is set up so you can work from either the port or the starboard side making transitions that much faster.

Below deck is spacious and has enough sleeping berths for all the crew. There is a total of 6 sleeping berths including a bow V-berth, 2 mid-cabin, and 2 extending under the cockpit. The galley features a two-burner, alcohol stove and an icebox.

Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own this Tillotson & Pearson sloop sailboat!

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.1 kn
Classic: 7.24 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

8.08 knots
Classic formula: 7.24 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.9
16-20: good 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.
16.93
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
45.2
>40: stiffer, more 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

45.19
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
242.9
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
242.88
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
26.8
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
26.79
<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
1.9
<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
1.86
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

According to the original literature, the PEARSON 36 was designed with with the “IOR 1 ton rule in mind”.
An entirely new PEARSON 36 was introduced in 1985. (listed as PEARSON 36-2)
