Crazy Horse is a 1972 Alberg 30 (Hull #549). She has been a great boat to me over the course of my ownership. The boat has been kept in freshwater the vast majority of its life, and under my ownership was primarily kept in Havre De Grace MD. Despite her flaws, Crazy horse has been a joy to sail and live aboard, serving as my dorm for my first year at University of Delaware. She sails well in heavy conditions, and has a cosy cabin full of teak and in good condition for her age.
Cosmetically, she is a 6/10. The brightwork needs redone, and there is some crazing on the hull. There is some bulkhead damage due to water intrusion, as well as a couple soft spots on deck. Mechanically, the boat is in good condition. She was re-powered in the mid 90s with a low hours Universal M4-30 diesel engine, which runs well. If you are looking for a sailable project boat with good bones, Crazy Horse might be the boat for you! The boat is currently out of the water at Anglers Marina in Lewes DE. Feel free to call or email for more information on the boat!

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)
Similar to, and alleged predecessor to the ALBERG 30. Local to the SF Bay Area (USA). More information has been promised.
