Seller's Description
“Warsow Syren” is for sale. This is a 1965 English built wooden dinghy from the builder Fenn and Wood. Cruise or race program, ideal for 4 people Fast and robust. Its dimensions are 4.27m by 1.57m. Sold with mainsail, jib and spinnaker, 2 vests, 2 paddles, and a grappling hook. We also sell with the two yellow life jackets. Wooden hull and masts. The boat is equipped with inflated bags to guarantee its unsinkability (installed under the benches).
The GP14 is the English equivalent of our French Vaurien. Boat with a hard-chine hull, it is stable and safe. It is a recognized class of light dinghies in England. Boat recognized by the GP14 International Association class, with identification number. This is a rare boat in France. This one also has a long history, formerly owned by the Army Sailing Association, its name “Warsaw Syren” was the name of its original registration, indicated in brass letters on its hull.
It was completely renovated by its former owner between 2012 and 2018, a former instructor from Glénans who dismantled it in order to replace the elements that required it (paints, marine plywood rework, replacement of brass screws with stainless steel, wooden mast in very good condition; photos of the renovations available). We bought it in 2019, it is pleasant to sail and lively. Ideal for family sailing. It has always been stored in the shelter of a hangar and under a tarpaulin.
Sold with a combined trailer (road trailer + launching). I can also give you an original trailer (to be repaired, you have to find a bearing) Visible in Brest (29).

Calculations

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
- Sail Area/Displacement
- ?
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
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
- Displacement/Length
- ?
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
- Comfort Ratio
- ?
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
- Capsize Screening
- ?
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
